Not at all using laptop-mode. Laptop-mode delays disk writes (including
"normal" and journal data).
Nowadays, using laptop-mode with a *very* high commit interval my
iBook's hd only spins up on cache read misses (and then, upon that
spin-up, laptop-mode flushes dirty buffers to disk).
Very handy all in all.
Btw, all the filesystems on my laptop are ext3.
