Battery life. The faster a task is completed (at a given power cost) the sooner the CPU can go back to standby.

- baybal2 6y agoNot so fast, especially these days. CPU power consumption is highly non-linear. You may well be benefitting from running a task longer, at a slower speed, and using less transistors.
- saagarjha 6y agoIn general time-to-sleep is still the defining factor in keeping battery life long. Sure, there are low-power cores, but I believe most UI code will not run at it since it's given high priority by the system.
