 Replying to [comment:3 AlbertCahalan]:

 Yes. I checked the wake-ups with powertop on OS546 and found that there
 are already ~220/s for python schedule_timeout (not sure if this is mainly
 due the CPU load diskplay of develop console), ~135 for mfgpt-timer (any
 way to elliminate this?), ~10 for ehci_irq (ehci_watchdog, should this be
 turned off for stable release?) and 10/s for Journal. Other wake-ups are
 less than 3/sec level.

 It sounds quite good to just display an analog clock and update at minute
 level. Also a "world clock" would be quite useful for children to
 communicate world-wide.
