Doesn't help much.
The only thing that really helped was the 'kill a bunch of daemons'
approach. 

Given that on my tecra 8100 apmd doesn't execute /etc/apm/{line,battery}
once when it goes online/to battery but whenever the battery's fill state
changes (i.e. every few seconds)[*], killing apm is the best thing. 

[*] For a description of this see apm.4, description of the
APM_POWER_PRINT option (which my kernel does NOT have on - apmd still runs
the scripts, though, and accesses the disk that way, spinning it up
again).

Seems kinda wrong...
