Before issuing these 2 commands, I was getting roughly 1-2 load cycles per 
minute when the laptop sat idle:
killall -9 evolution-data-server-1.12
killall -9 evolution-exchange-storage

Now, when I'm issuing sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda after a long period of
idling, I only get an increase of 1 load cycle and that's probably
because I'm waking up the hdd with the command.

I've also killed:
cupsys
apmd
bluetooth
