Basically get everything working and tested in the real world before even thinking about optimizing, it may be unnecessary or needed somewhere you didn't expect. In this case the optimization of spinning down as fast as possible is good in the use case of servers to save power and heat, but not good for gaming. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shayeta@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago That makes much more sense. I though you considered this fix a premature optimization. Ultimately, I guess it depends on the workload. permalink fedilink source parent
