Precisely what is tick_sched_timer and why is it using a lot of battery?

After manually upgrading the video driver from video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime to video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-550xx-prime (with having troubles deinstalling the old driver) the power consumption reduced from about 20/23 watt to 3/5 watt :sweat_smile:
