Hi all!
I'm (again) in the process of optimizing my laptops power consumption. I noticed that
"tdepowersafe" consumes ~ 2.5% of all CPU cycles - this is more than Xorg (1.6%)
but less than htop (6.3%). So my question is: does tdepowersafe do constant polling? IMO
it should take almost no CPU cycles (<1%)?

That is mostly through tdehw which in some cases can to freeze
interfaces and so I have fixed the issue for myself in the patch
tdehw-NoFreeze.patch
<https://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3199>, also as many
other TDE issues like this one. :)
So, I have not more than 0.5% CPU loading on 800 МГЦ CPU by tdepowersafe!

That's perfect. Is this patch going to be integrated ay time soon?

This one and more other patches integrated in my different repositories
with regularly updated LiveDisks —
http://oscada.org/wiki/Sub-projects/Automation_Linux_distributive
To the main branch of TDE their just aren't merged by the local
"authorities". :)

well here tdepowersave runs at 0.1% ...
I actually downloaded some years ago to have a look, but I am doing my own
Frankenstein ... with least customizations possible - would be rather
extentions on top (only when needed). Over the years I found out that it is
better in this case to swim with one swarm that suits 99% of the needs. It
saves a lot of time. I don't even do kernel compilation myself anymore. It
might be result of inflation in available time over the years :).

It
saves a lot of time.
For that I have created a script of migration my specific-work
configuration during updating to new distributive version.
That is, I install new version from such LiveDisk in other partition,
next just call this script, and bingo — use the familiar ready
environment mostly without extra actions.
I don't even do kernel compilation myself anymore.
It
might be result of inflation in available time over the years :).
I don't build kernels 14 years already and for such LiveDisks I built a
kernel yet for ALTLinux 6.0 just to its work on K6-2.
And next stopped (or started) on Debian 7 with 486 kernels here from the
box, and it works right now on my nearly first PC K6-2+/570, which
installed from such actual LiveDisk, and which (TDE14.0.10) I newly even
fixed about udisks, playing DVD in Kaffeine and CD-RW icons. :)
