So there we go - just two samples with all applications closed, all
preloaded konquerors stopped, Akonadi stopped, Nepomuk told
to stop indexing (whether it did, is another question):

Indeed plasma-desktop appears in the list now, but IMHO thats almost
unavoidable with it being one of the few desktop processes that were
running at that time. I have seen it with 2 to about 10 events per
second which doesn´t seem that much of it. That is with a picture of
the day widget, customer weather widget and some CPU, memory and
harddisk status widgets.
So maybe thats a better measurement. The amount of events per second in
plasma-desktop itself instead of the complete amount of wakeups or in
relation to it.
2 to 10 events from plasma-desktop in relation to 250-400 wakeups per
second doesn´t sound that much to me.
Depending on the hardware you use there might be some other power
related options that make sense to use. For Intel Sandybridge that is at
least RC6 power saving mode for integrated graphics, but I use some
other options as well. The RC6 option should make the biggest difference
and is not on by default for Sandybridge in 3.2.
