Sorry, but I'll call bull on this. Intel video drivers built in my CPU
with full power management, even if the drivers are a bit dumb, uses
less power than an additional nvidia chip that has to be powered
separately and talked to remotely over a bus, no matter how smart its
drivers are.

So I disabled that, the spinning circle is gone, but enlightenment is
definitely doing better.
2.08 W 17.2 ms/s 88.9 Process /usr/bin/enlightenment
But it still spikes randomly to
3.30 W 22.7 ms/s 141.1 Process /usr/bin/enlightenment
3.64 W 19.7 ms/s 161.2 Process /usr/bin/enlightenment
4.30 W 44.7 ms/s 203.8 Process /usr/bin/enlightenment
Is that acceptable/expected for e17?
Thanks,
Marc
