however, there will be a soft-screen lock, which requires a certain 
action to unlock the screen

taking this further; if the neo's in my pocket, and the screen is 
touched, does the processor enter a higher state, i.e. consume more 
power, or does that only happen when the screen is unlocked?

Yes, if you need the device to do anything. If not, you may as well allow it 
to go into suspend where the main CPU is powered off.
