Possibly. However, the kernel is pretty good at asking the CPU
to reduce power draw when things are idle, and you should check
the existing CPU stats -- it is quite likely that your CPU is
already asleep most of the time that you are not using it, and
a fair percentage of the time that you *are* using it.

Try installing linux-cpupower and running turbostat (as root).
