I'll check that out since I was looking more specifically at acpi
related stuff.  

If it's the atime that you meant, I've already done that.  Just change
the fstab entry for the partition in question from 'defaults' to
'noatime' and either 'mount -o remount /$partition' or reboot.  Saves a
little bit of drive access.
