Good idea... but it doesn't appear to be that easy.

Never is :-(.
It would likely be at the kernel level - like the kernel is going into
a "low-load" setting -- since your system isn't suspending or going to
sleep. There are some cpu scheduling modules in the kernel (util
'powertop' makes suggestions for modules to include for laptop or
low power systems. Something the "cpufreq_ondemand" module in the
in a suse stock kernel (2.6.18.2-34) I see cpufreq modules for
conservative, ondemand, powersave.
In some kernel version (gee, am just so specific -- I read information
in greater amounts than my brain auto-indexes... (:-)) I thought
there was a bug in some later kernel version concerning the new
tickless kernel and the ondemand-cpu module, but I don't think
the tickless patches are in 2.6.18. I wonder if there are any ways
to tweak those modules -- but it appears they would only be used
on a system that has a variable cpu frequency -- so unless you have
that hardware....(what hw did you say you had?)...
Good luck...
