> I have made a name for myself running around to various customers doubling the performance of their core business applications by turning off dynamic power management on their database servers. There's a literal turbo button (in software) on every piece of server kit sold for about 15 years now because of some stupid regulation that was started by some hippie moron in California. What regulation is this? AFAICT, this one doesn't regulate dynamic power management, it only requires a sleep mode for some computers (and the only mention of servers is "small-scale servers", which are exempted from all the sleep mode stuff)
