Hi all,

first of all thanks for this great utility: it helped me out
tremendously in getting back my battery life. Just wanted to mention
that ibm-acpi isn't that unfriendly, but the tools which query it might
be. On my laptop having it loaded or not doesn't really change the power
consumption but having tools that query it often does: for example
having the fan control script with the default polling rate generates a
huge amount of wakes up. Same things for the temperatures applets: if
they query the ibm-acpi interface a huge number of wakeups but removing
them makes my laptop very battery friendly.

thanks
graziano
