Have a look at powertop -- you'll never suspend, there are several
hundred wakeups per second.

If you want to do better than super-idling the way that recent kernels
do, you have to get into the "suspend transparently and aggressively"
game, like modern mobile phones do.

It is a pain -- some cases can be handled transparently, others need a
bit of work in making the apps suspend-aware. But the payoff is huge.
