I have the scaling applet running at all times, and from what it shows my CPU scales from 2GHz to 800MHz, pretty quickly when there's low load (most of the time). Mem usage is also rarely 100% (768MB), so it seems like the system load overall is also not very high for most of the time.
I wonder if there's any scaling for the GPU? (ATI Radeon M300) -- [Dapper, Edgy, Feisty] Battery Life Low (half of XP) on Inspiron 9300 https://launchpad.net/bugs/97627 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
