Probably yes. If voltage changes, 2000mA means different ammount of power. > (cmp. > ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/dyn_tick_c_states/measures_C4_machine/1000_HZ_bm_history_FFFFFFFF) > > > _passing bm_history=0xFF to processor module:_ > > Average current the last 190 seconds: *1757mA* > (cmp. > ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/dyn_tick_c_states/measures_C4_machine/1000_HZ_bm_history_FF) > (Usage count could be bogus, as some invokations could not succeed > if bm has currently been active).

That seems like ~5W saved, right? That might give you one more hour of battery life....
