I don't think a 1000 wakups a second is lot when you're actually doing
something. Dynamic ticks only come into play only when the computer is
idle, otherwise you want a really high number. That means your cpu is
processing a lot of data (could be considered a good thing). This isn't
a synaptic issue because you can reach 1000/d-tics/sec though any
process that requires the system to respond often (download files,
games, play videos). This tool is provided for a benchmark to see what
wakes up when the system should be idle. Think about how every time you
move your mouse your computer has to calculate its position hundreds of
times a second. If you don't believe me watch the powertools while you
do just that.
Thanks,
