Details

We should measure idle wake up and ideally track the cause of these. This exist today on linux via 'powertop' and OSX 10.9 via the Activity monitor. Capturing this information will let us decrease power usage by cutting this metric down and perhaps coalescing. The gecko profiler could capture the source of what is registering the timer if that's useful, but I would much rather have good OS level tools IMO.
As a side-note, shouldn't we have a |power| keyword?
No objection. You can file a BMO bug for that I think.
