Can you cite some documentation that suggests that running two progams
simultaneously uses significantly more energy than running one? Unless the
software is directly playing with hardware -- the printer, the fan, etc, I have
a hard time believing that running multiple programs uses significantly more
energy than running one.

Unless it is a phone it is the rule of thumb that you are most
efficient by doing only what is needed. Less work means less energy
required. On the software side of things you want to make sure that
there's only programs running you need to run. But it is the hardware
that limits you the most. What parts are most efficient is obscured
with marketing. That translates into extensive research into things
with limited documentation. The idler would simply look for energy
star rated parts. The truly lazy will buy a netbook or nettop.
