AggressivePowersave

kpowersave in SUSE Linux 10.1 has recently got a new scheme "AggressivePowersave". I wanted to know what they mean when they say "Aggressive" thus I tried this option and immediately learned how aggressive "Aggressive" can be. My kernel immediately produced an Oops message which resulted in the system being almost unusable until the next reboot. Maybe it saves some power if you no longer can work with your system but most likely this is a bit too aggressive for the average user.
