PAL_HALT_LIGHT disables idle power state
Issue The PAL_HALT_LIGHT registry edit disables the idle power state (C1) on all
Itanium processors in the system. You must reboot the system for the change
to take effect. For typical workloads, this modification improves system
performance and responsiveness at the expense of a slightly increased power
consumption.

processors in the system, remove the PAL_HALT_LIGHT registry edit by going
to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. You must them reboot the
system for the change to take effect.
