Software developers should be cautious about having applications perform tasks that require high processor usage while the system is in Away Mode. A system in Away Mode might be located in a living room, bedroom, or other location where thermal and noise constraints exist. Depending on hardware design, high processor usage could cause the system to increase heat output and increase the speed and noise output of processor and system case fans.
