Hey guys,

just wanted to let you know: I was able to reduce the wake-ups on my 
nvidia-gfx based notebook from about 700 to 150 per second by just adding the 
following line to the device section of xorg.conf:

    Option         "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "true"

>From NVidias documentation:

"Normally, VBlank interrupts are generated on every vertical refresh of every 
display device connected to the GPU(s) installed in a given system. This 
experimental option enables on-demand VBlank control, allowing the driver to 
enable VBlank interrupt generation only when it is required. This can help 
conserve power."
