On a Thinkpad T42 with ENHANCED_SPEEDSTEP enabled, the CPU frequency 
seems to be reset to maximum after a resume.  I ran a loop checking the 
current frequency every 5 seconds.  I went to battery; the CPU speed 
dropped appropriately, via my /etc/apm/batter script.  I then suspended
the machine; when I resumed, the CPU speed was set to maximum.  My fix 
is to include this text in /etc/apm/resume:

case `apm -d -a` in
        0|2) sh /etc/apm/battery;;
        1) sh /etc/apm/line;;
esac

I think (but haven't verified) that the system misses transitions to/
from line power on a resume.  This script will catch that, too.
