Stracing it, it looks like the main culprit is this (in gnome-power-
manager-2.18.2/src/gpm-dpms.c):

static void
gpm_dpms_init (GpmDpms *dpms)
{
        dpms->priv = GPM_DPMS_GET_PRIVATE (dpms);

        add_poll_timer (dpms, 500);
}

This wakes up the CPU twice a second to check the monitor's DPMS state.
