CPU idle was a program, by third parties, intended to cool the processor
by putting a HLT instruction in the 'idle loop' The standard idle loop
of XP does this anyway and you should remove cpuidle.

Either way, time going into these things is time where there is nothing
whatever else for the system to do. But cpuidle may be proving
reluctant to notice that a task has turned up
