How to get a more efficient running of your computer? Simple. Just change your goal from 'doing things' to 'do nothing'.
A novel approach is to remove all power from the system, which removes most system overhead so that resources can be fully devoted to doing nothing. Benchmarks on this technique are promising; tremendous amounts of nothing can be produced in this manner. Certain hardware limitations can limit the speed of this method, especially in the larger systems which require a more involved & less efficient power-down sequence. An alternate approach is to pull the main breaker for the building, which seems to provide even more nothing, but in truth has bugs in it, since it usually inhibits the systems which keep the beer cool.

PS I especially dislike the bug in the last sentence. I think a bug fix would be a big UPS on the fridge.
