I don't see a whole lot of context from the elided email bits you'd sent
previously; can you summarize the issue in terms of how much power
savings you're losing, how you're measuring it and what's going on in
the system when the power savings is different?

Have you tried measuring power with X not running? How about with
compositing and other desktop effects disabled?
