Let's consider these situations : 1) You turn it on at six o'clock am and leave it turned on till six 0'clock pm . 2) You turn it on at six o'clock am and it keeps it on during 2 hours. Then you turn it off during 2 hours. And so sucessively until six o'clock pm.
Obviously the computer wastes more energy on the first case. But all depend on the variations of the time you keep it continuosly on, and the variations on the range you keep it off and on. In other words, it may spend more energy by turning it on and off several times, and may spend less energy by keeping it on continuosly. It's a matter of a simple math operation.
