Appears I’m seeing anywhere from 20 to 30 watt reduction in power as well as a CPU utilization decrease. This is a desktop machine (i9-9900) running PVE 7.0-10.
I’ll continue to monitor this but it appears to be quite an improvement in both power consumption as well as resource utilization.
Thanks for the tip!
In the graphs below the command was entered at approx 10:45. Top is watts read from the utility meter, bottom is CPU utilization.
