So I tried your workaround guys "sudo pm-powersave false" and doesn't
work for me. Still have 70 - 100 % usage cpu .. sometimes more 100+ :D.
So I decide to try install Xubuntu-desktop.. when I switch to xfce
everithings works well with all efects ..compiz etc.. CPU stay between 4
- 8% . Should be problem in gnome-power-manager ... but this package
cannot be uninstall just like that- seems to be connet with whole
ubuntu-deskot. So if you have guys any ideas how to.. let's say.. switch
to another power manager, for example xfce4-power-manager, I would be
very grateful- if is it even possible of course. thx and regards guys

Title:
  Laptop becomes very slow on Battery

Status in “pm-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I have a problem which I don't find a solution for it. And it only
  happens when the charger is disconnected. The problem is the fallowing
  :

  - When the charger is connected the OS is fast. 
  - But, when it isn't, then Ubuntu becomes impossible to use because of it 
slowness (taking up to 3 minutos to open an application if the mouse is not on 
top of another application).

  A workaround that I've found is to disable pm-powersave by doing :
  "sudo pm-powersave false". But this workaround causes 2 problems :

  1 - It need to be loaded every time I boot the laptop
  2 - If pm-powersave is set to false then the laptop won't Suspend.

  Another thing : My laptop has an nVidia GPU and I am using the Nouveau
  driver. If I boot the computer with the "nomodeset" option set in the
  kernel, then I will have a small resolution, no visual effects, but
  there will be no slow down problem

  Best Regards,
  Luis Da Costa
