Hi list,
   i'm currently running 6.0-RELEASE and i activated powerd as the system
power control utility. However, using top, i'm seeing that powerd normally
uses nearly 18% of the CPU power, thus consuming energy and battery time
(i'm using a laptop). Another point is that i'm seeing also more than one
process named powerd.

Is this all normal?

For example (a part of top):

30397 root        1   8    0  1188K   820K nanslp   3:07 17.14% powerd
 2143 root        1   8    0  1188K   820K nanslp   1:25  2.20% powerd
 2146 root        1   8    0  1188K   820K nanslp   0:47  1.03% powerd
(plus other.....)

Many thanks in advance,
MC
