I think it might be that powertop is on crack here. I see that at the
top of powertop's overview all the time (with only a few terminals
open), but on powertop-1 it never shows up.  Here's a snapshot of both,
taken at the same time (on precise):

powertop:
                Usage Events/s Category Description
             2316 rpm                   Device         Laptop fan

             16.9 ms/s      59.5        Process        compiz

powertop-1:
