I had this problem with e17, and now same thing with e18

Here's powertop when I'm on batteries:
  5.66 W     11.1 ms/s     269.5        Process        
/usr/local/opt/google/chrome-beta/chrome --user-data-dir=/home/me
  4.71 W     96.8 ms/s     224.9        Process        
/usr/local/opt/google/chrome-beta/chrome --type=renderer --lang=e
  4.10 W      6.6 ms/s     196.3        Interrupt      PS/2 Touchpad / Keyboard 
/ Mouse
  1.93 W     27.7 ms/s      92.8        Process        /usr/bin/enlightenment
  1.21 W      1.0 ms/s      58.1        Timer          hrtimer_wakeup

(ignore the watt values, but look at the wakeups).

So this isn't too bad for enlightenemnt, right?
But then I killall -STOP chrome because it's pigging my battery and I'm
not using it.
The moment I do this, enlightenment gets crazy and starts looping and
killing my battery.

Powertop now says:
  8.35 W     91.2 ms/s     383.0        Process        /usr/bin/enlightenment
  4.52 W      5.1 ms/s     206.6        Interrupt      PS/2 Touchpad / Keyboard 
/ Mouse
  903 mW      1.3 ms/s      41.3        Interrupt      [42] 
i915@pci:0000:00:02.0

Why does e18 go from 92 wakeups to 383?

Because e is started under gdb, or somesuch, I can't strace it to see
what it's doing wrong, but clearly it's spinning silly.

Can a developer try to run google-chrome, switch to batteries, start
powertop, run killall -STOP chrome, and observe?
(it will likely be faster than me relaying this via Email anyway)

Thanks,
Marc
