For comparison, the numbers are not the same on a Thinkpad T400 (dmesg below) running on battery. acpicpu0 at acpi0: !C3(100@57 mwait.3@0x30), !C2(500@1 mwait.1@0x10), C1(1000@1 mwait.1), PSS acpicpu1 at acpi0: !C3(100@57 mwait.3@0x30), !C2(500@1 mwait.1@0x10), C1(1000@1 mwait.1), PSS apm -A (hw.setperf=0 hw.perfpolicy=auto) took 14m23.20s to compile the kernel, consuming 28.93 - 21.28 = 7.65 Wh (by hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour3) apm -H (hw.setperf=100 hw.perfpolicy=manual hw.cpuspeed=2267) took 14m27.63s, consuming 19.25 - 11.04 = 8.21 Wh apm -L (hw.setperf=0 hw.perfpolicy=manual hw.cpuspeed=800) took 37m18.40s, consuming 22.25 - 10.02 = 12.23 Wh So at last here, apm -A is better than apm -H, but apm -L is clearly the worst.
