You may want BOTH actually. acpi for a more aware power saving idle
loop (you can gather some statistics from /proc/acpi/processor/*/power)
and you may want speedstep-centrino in order to lower voltage (and as a
consequence the frequency of the processor). You should'nt use the acpi
performance stuff because it's achieve the exact same thing than the
speedstep-centrino, but via a call to the BIOS instead to talk directly
to the hardware (in this case, via known MSRs).
