How much energy/battery power does ControlPlane use? #482

In Activity Monitor, it looks like ControlPlane's average energy impact is about 0.02-0.05, which is extremely low. Is this really its energy impact, or the energy impact for the preferences "app?" Is there any daemon or background process which ControlPlane uses which causes more energy to be needed? Just curious.

Depends on the number of and what kinds of evidence sources you have enabled. Many of them run on a loop and do work which is why you see the energy impact you do.

I just use one (WiFi). Maybe that's why the battery usage is low.

Too low...
