Doesn't Linux run cooler than FreeBSD though, it even says so somewhere 
in the docs.. (no I don't know where) about how Linux uses HALT..
So obviously if someone wants FreeBSD used on a space shuttle mission 
then this minimal power drain thing is important..

Although I don't know why this wasn't done on an ARM chip of some sort, 
if power was important..

oh blah blah..
