Suggest you investigate powertop program, from our friends at Intel: http://www.linuxpowertop.org/ It requires a recompiled kernel (I seem to recall hearing there is an openSUSE build service kernel with the necessary support for powertop), and the overhead makes it enough that you may not want to run with it on full-time, but it can help you find offenders.
with nothing useful. I've closed down all unnecessary processes I know I can, but that has as little effect as anything else I try. None of the logs seem to be flooded with data, and I even turned off firewall logging. I uninstalled all Apparmor etc. stuff and even closed sshd and similar. No effect.
AppArmor logs events in two cases: o the event fails security policy -or- o you have a profile in learning mode, and the profile performs some forks, execs, etc. (This information is used to construct intelligent questions to prompt the user later.) This logging can be pretty intense :) so we don't recommend leaving profiles on production systems in complain mode longer than necessary. :) Hope this helps
