I have almost the same problem on my Dell. When I switch from mains to
battery, there's a CPU spike which lasts for several minutes. I believe
it's due to hald, its being confused, perhaps in some loop which takes a
lot of processing to resolve.

The video is "jerky" probably because it's not getting enough CPU. Try
running "top" in a terminal before changing the power source and see
what's running.

I've had a look at top and nothing jumps out to suggest anything is
wrong. I think the problem lies with acpi because if I turn off acpi at
boot, every thing is ok (apart from the fact the powersave functions are
disabled).

Any more ideas?
