Back on Sunday 06 July 2008, schoappied was like:
It's sort of like using a callback rather than polling to deal with
interrupts. (not literally, but the analogy works)
It's great for laptops because it helps preserve battery power. It _sounds_

all kinds of problems with real time performance. (It also totally hosed
compiz)
