Startup / Reboot of NUC takes up to 5 minutes

Yeah I know, depends on the NUC I guess, we went over this in the other thread after this

Most efficient NUC

ROCK idles the CPU very aggressively when not it is not used. If you pick a 15W TDP NUC, you’ll cap it at 15W, and usually, you’ll hover in the low single digits of wattage. I have a kill-a-watt meter on mine, which runs about 2kWh/mo – or here in New York, about US$0.50.

Nevertheless, at 15W 24/7/365 and 0.30 eurocents per kWh, it costs 39.31 euros per year. If price rises to 0.50 per kWh, the difference is 26 euros per year, and a part of that would be offset by avoiding the rescanning every day after turning it off (which uses CPU and HD power)
