Its a mod actually. and I prolly should ping @random about that - better to get the answer from the mod in question.

Also, yeah, get that powermeter ;p

(Personally, I ended up running long running tasks on a seperate, low power machine)

It depends on what is used, what is tested and you'll get into a criss-cross of hypotheticals on hypotheticals

Ok, the explanation makes sense, but personally I don't think it's valid. Just added a comment on the question itself explaining why. superuser.com/questions/1031532/…

Ops, I thought linking to the comment would display it in a quotation style, like @random did. Anyway, I'm wondering if it's possible to get the question open again by means of a major rewrite of the relevant portion, since my interest on this is out of curiosity and not specific to my case.

@Marc.2377 needs to be on its own line.

@Marc.2377 maaaybe. But a general answer would be tricky
