Here are results with KDE running.

- no peripherals attached, i.e. truly mobile setup.
- all modules loaded
- klaptopdaemon disabled in order to eliminate competition in polling the
  already slow battery controller
- furthermore, I found that artsd prevents entering C3 and generally
  increases power consumption (ALSA, snd_intel8x0)
- voltage is 16.5V

Since the results aren't as stable as in the minimal setup (especially
with HZ=1000), I'll post raw numbers and averages:

HZ=100:                   HZ=1000:      DIFF:

1) averages:

backlight on, artsd off:
765.00                    812.12        42.12

backlight off, arstd off:
637.17                    679.67        42.5

backlight on, artsd on:
927.60                    933.33        5.73

backlight off, artsd on:
799.46                    806.13        6.67

2) raw numbers:
