I've tried this on laptops, but the interesting results came on my desktop. My cpu usage was low, but the load average was high. powertop listed some surprising processes that were waking up hundreds of times per second.

If green is your favorite colour, there is no other platform then GNU/Linux, never found these kind of tweakin' possibilities on other platforms!
