If you google for ext4 and battery life you can find quite a bit of 
discussion about how the default filesystem configuration prevents the 
disk from being able to go to sleep.  The bottom line is optimizing for 
performance is more or less inversely proportional to optimizing for low 
energy consumption.  So yes, it would be useful to have a 
laptop-optimized version.
