Better Battery Life
Submitted by Adam Ashenfelter (not registered) on Thu, 2008-12-18 16:34.

I'm guessing this will also result in better battery life on a laptop as well.

It would be nice if some kind of atime cache was implemented so file accesses wouldn't cause disk IO.  ATime infomation could then be written at long intervals, and at unmount time.

This kerneltrap.org conversation has a similar suggestion.
