this is why the windows driver uses heuristics to decide when the laptop
is possibly unstable and *may* fall soon... because it takes something
like 700ms to actually park. (a url floated by with the whitepaper-level
details at some point.)
btw -- my usual box is a t42p running winxp, and i disable the parking
code... whatever my normal usage is tends to trigger the parking
heuristics too readily. it's a cool idea, but i'm skeptical of its
real-world value.
as for other details it's trivial to lock the daemon in memory and run it
at nice -4 to get a head start on parking even when at 100% cpu and under
memory load.
