+1. Make DragonflyBSD Tickless
+* By default, the clock cyclic fires at 100 Hz, regardless of whether or not any timeouts/callouts are scheduled to fire/expire. This is suboptimal from a power efficiency standpoint, as at least one of the system's CPUs never become quiescent/idle enough to be brought into a low power state.
+This work involves re-implementing the services presently provided by clock() in a tickless (or event based) fashion, eliminating the need for the system to "wake up", only to realize that there's nothing to do on an otherwise idle system.
