Previously I had a Thinkpad T60p as laptop, when tickless Linux kernels (iirc 2.6.21) and powertop were all new.
I made a ultra-idle setup which generated only 10-20 interrupts per second. That was, until you even dared to touch the synaptics touchpad, then it shot up to ~500 rendering all the other efforts useless.
