Interesting new utility called PowerTOP:

"A typical Linux distribution has many components that wake the
processor up frequently for no good reason. In our testing with
PowerTOP, we have seen many cases where with some simple fixes,
the
battery life of typical laptops was increased by one hour or
more!"
... It's led to a flurry of patches and power saving tips:
