Are you comfortable with configuring a new kernel? If so you've probably seen options for apm (advanced power management) and the like, and tht should be where you start. Sorry I can't provide more info than that, but others here may wish to help. I think you'll get more help out of searching these mailing lists and the web than we can guarantee. As a note, I don't know if/don't think there is support for the "speed-step" feature of some laptop pentiums, which would probably help you the most.
