Thanks, Jonathon, that's reassuring.  So I guess I'll try the suggested 
fixes for the session to see if they help, and decide whether to adopt 
them permanently later.

Search results suggest that Powertop is widely used by experienced Linux 
devotees;  but I never came across anyone mentioning it here, though 
it's in the Ubuntu repos, so I wonder.  Any thoughts?
