I've seen two reports. The first is where we are tracking removal for
10.04 LTS:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539467
The second (which I just found) is likely a dupe, but I mention it
because comments have indicated that it has been fixed in 2.6.33:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528981
Given that we don't have any reports against 2.6.33 or later, it's
reasonable to leave it in and enabled by default I think.

Well I may throw a wrench in that :). I found two small bugs and will
follow this email up with patches.

I consider battery performance part of overall performance :)
