As I said, cpu idling is enabled by default in the supplied klt20.ini, and
it always used to work. When it stopped working I can't say, but seems to
have been in the past couple of years. I suspect something had to have
changed in the use of the interval timer. But it's definitely a problem.

Does KLH10 support CPU idling? The behavior you
describe is what I always
had, but it?s been years since I was actively using KLH10 (I?ve had zero
time for it).

I've been able to reproduce this on two different x86 systems running
current versions of linux. Open two windows, run "top" in one. In the
other, assuming you're using panda-dist, start klh10, even with the default
klt20.ini file (the cpu idler is defined on by default). So far, at the
KLH10 prompt, all is well. Now type "go", and you'll be at the BOOT
prompt,
but you don't need to boot anything. Look at "top" in your other window,
and you'll observe the "kn10-kl" process shoot to the top at 100% cpu
utilization.
That's a problem.
