For example, when my phone is in my pocket with the screen locked, keeping the roster's status updated seems unnecessary. Yet, the connection still needs to be live for incoming IMs and sessions. I think you mean presence updates rather than roster updates. There isn't such a way, but it seems like a practical idea. Of course a lot of clients have buddy-pounce functionality which can be useful, so you'd need to cater for this, but a first step would be that if you want buddy-pounces, then you'd not make the connection dormant. It would be good to analyze the relative percentage of presence to messages. My sense from watching the XML console in Psi is that most of the "noise" is presence. In general I think it might be difficult to determine which stanzas are worth waking up for (some messages might just be PEP notifications), but ignoring presence seems like a good start.
