Does "system" wakelock really prevent "device's CPU from entering a standby mode"? #11

I suspect this wakelock really just allows the foreground page to continue receiving events, where, if the foreground page doesn't receive any events for a while, the CPU will still go to sleep.

If it actually behaves as currently described, this could be extremely wasteful for webpages that aren't actively mining bitcoins.
