What are the side effects of turning tickless mode on (nohz=off)? All I can find on it is that it saves a small amount of power (http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_21), so I assume that making my computer shut down is worth it?

@Michael:
Does your computer have to get a new IP everytime it logs in? When I was troubleshooting a network problem (that ended up being the ISP's fault), I released all the local IPs, and I had to enable the network manager again to get it to reconnect. Of course, after that, I can turn it off again, though that still doesn't provide a full solution for me.
