[Copy of Debian bug report] Every few seconds, workrave writes its stats to disk: [...] It would be sweet if somehow this could be kept in memory if an option is specified, otherwise it's close to impossible to configure a laptop to spin down its disk while workrave is running.

I vote for this one. In fact if I ever go into the code (as I sometimes dream to do) I'd start with looking how statistics are handled. (Then next on my list would be general memory management.) So, I hope someone beats me to it. :)

Is there a voting facility in this Bugzilla? Anyway, I would also like to vote for this bug.

Created attachment 259 dirty way to disable mid-session disk access I've simply commented out some of the save calls so workrave now only touches disk on startup/closing/preferances change. It still works fine and correctly restores its state on restart, but I only use minibreaks and rest breaks, so daily limit and network are not tested. Feel free to use :)
