Ok–I kind’a get that TLP is a power saving thing for laptops, but using systemd-analyze blame I see that it takes the longest time of all my services to start—790ms. My real question is for a desktop that needs to run 24/7 crunching BOINC–is TLP hurting my output?

No you do not really need TLP. I believe when it reconizes AC power it defaults to a performance gov. and doesn’t limit anything though… Personally I would can it…I use a laptop and I don’t even use that thing.

Do I "really" need TLP for a Desktop?

tlp prevents wakeup on LAN. That is the main reason for me to not use it on my desktop PC.
