Ok so I turned on "show paint" and "show fps" First observation: If I change the screen's refresh rate, I see the corresponding change in both the fps shown by kwin *and* the wakeups/second.
Second observation: If I don't touch the mouse and have a static screen, nothing is apparently getting repainted as you say, yet the fps and wakeups are still running at the same rate (50/60 whatever I set with xrandr) Conclusion: kwin is waking up unnecessarily with vblank interrupts. Now I don't mind this being marked as "Won't fix", but marking it as "invalid" is wrong based on these observations. Anyway, thanks for listening, I'll just have to turn off the effects when on battery and look forward to 9.04.
