Has anyone noticed bigger power consumption (reduced battery time)/temperatures on laptops (preferably with i915 gpu) with kernel > 3.7.3 ? Is it only my idea?

I had this excess power consumption issue on my Dell laptop with the following configuration.
> Video Card : AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M - 1GB (For ICC)
>
> RAM : 6GB (1 X 2GB + 1 X 4GB) 2 DIMM DDR3 1333Mhz
>
> OS : 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10
Having learnt on forums that it was a kernel bug, I downgraded my kernel from 3.0 to 2.6.37.
The PostgreSQL 9.2 release is available. "Since the beta release was announced in May, developers and vendors have praised it as a leap forward in performance, scalability and flexibility. Users are expected to switch to this version in record numbers." LWN ran a detailed look at this release in May.
The PostgreSQL 9.2 release is available.
KDE have released version 4.8 of their free and open source software bundle. It provides many new features, improved stability and increased performance. Highlights for Plasma Workspaces include window manager optimizations, and the redesign of power management.
I installed postgresql 9.2 from "add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql" using "apt-get install postgresql-9.2"
At the end of the install and every time I try to launch postgresql by using the following command
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
or
service postgresql start
I get this error:
Error: could not exec /usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/pg_ctl
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/pg_ctl start -D
PostgreSQL is one of the most versatile, powerful and reliable object-relational database systems available. The enterprise-class open source database is in use by some of the largest companies in the world, handling exceptionally large workloads. But you knew all of that already, so let's talk about a few features in PostgreSQL you probably didn't know about already.
I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04 on an HP Mini 311. It has an Atom 270, 3GB ram, NVIDIA ION graphics. When running windows 7 with the screen off and no programs running the power consumtion from the wall was measured as 7-9W. With Ubuntu server running, with ACPI, powertop options good. the power consumption is 17-20W.
A newly unveiled startup says it has devised a CMOS platform that can cut the active power consumption of & a wide range of integrated circuit products& by half, and leakage power consumption by up to five times. SuVolta says its & PowerShrink& platform has already been licensed by Fujitsu, which will offer it in 65nm products in 2012....
I am trying to upgrade postgresql from 9.0.4 to 9.2.3 using the directions from the wiki (postgresql page, under "upgrading"), due to systemd causing my connections to be refused on my socket for 9.0.4...# pacman -S postgresql-old-upgrade postgresql-libs
:: postgresql-libs is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway?
