I am configuring the 3.5.7 kernel and it brought this up:
========================================================
CONFIG_PM_AUTOSLEEP:

Allow the kernel to trigger a system transition into a global sleep
state automatically whenever there are no active wakeup sources.

Symbol: PM_AUTOSLEEP [=n]
Type  : boolean
Prompt: Opportunistic sleep
  Defined at kernel/power/Kconfig:106
  Depends on: PM_SLEEP [=y]
  Location:
    -> Power management and ACPI options
========================================================

but I am not sure what the impact of it will be.  In particular, I would like 
to avoid sluggishness in the off chance the laptop is thinking that it should 
start placing devices into sleep, when I am still using the machine.  I recall 
some laptop option/service causing mplayer stopping and restarting when 
running on battery in the past, so I am keen to avoid something similar.

Have you any experience of how this behaves?
