You have with laptop_mode the same problem than with noflushd (you're

something like 10s.
Moreover, without noflushd, the kernel buffers are flushed every 30s (or
less, I can't remember)

Lately, I've been working on making my laptop as efficient on power as
possible.

There is a lot of information out there on this subject and I've
