Via_Patrino writes "While having to distribute load between several servers, round robin, or any other technique which balances load equally, is usually the most common approach because of its simplicity. But a recent study shows that trying to accumulate load on some servers can improve energy efficiency because the other servers will be mostly unused during off-peak periods and then able to make better use of power saving methods. Specially where load involves lots of concurrent power-consuming TCP connections which was the study case when a new load balancing algorithm resulted in an overall 30% power savings."
