This is an interesting one. Given the number of modes in Emacs that now use timers to do things during the idel-delay, it might be useful to create a single-point of customization --- perhaps initially as an interactive command, that one can invoke to "enter laptop power saving mode" --- somewhat similar in spirit to the various laptop-mode shell scripts floating around the net. Those scripts allow one to invoke the necessary actions through acpi --- eventually emacs could also be taught to run an acpi-power-online or acpi-power-offline hook to automatically react to whether it's running on AC power or on batteries.
