but not the f****** micro$oft optical mouse.
i can`t belive this but if the mouse ist unplugged the runtime increase up 
about nearly 30%

now with tmpfs for /tmp, modified syslog and hdd-spindown the battery will 
make more than one hour ... . (the laptop is up for 2h now and the battery 
shows 49% power.)
