Comment 3 for bug 475447

The issue is that ubuntuone-client, ubuntuone-syncdaemon and desktopcouch-server (forgot to mention that) are responsible for a constant rate of 30 wakeups/second between them (10 wakeups/s each). On a reasonable modern system this is not a negliigible figure, in particular when considering the impact on the power consumption of laptops.

The question is why these services cause wakeups at all. Is there some kind of polling to check if there is any work to do? And doing so 10 times per second?
