I thought the only use of APM on a line-powered desktop machine is that it
makes shutdown -p work.

So it also makes the CPU run cooler while the system is idle?
I should probably turn on APM again then. I had disabled it and didn't want
to touch anything after finding a working configuration.

Bye, Chris
