Another profile I would suggest would be: 'charge quickly' - low power until charged, then full power. Since the time to charge a battery depends on the laptop's current consumption, if the processor is running flat out, the battery will take longer to charge. Hence a profile that runs the processor slow while the battery is charging, but then runs it more quickly once the battery is fully charged, would be useful.
