Yeh, you don't really have to have ACPI.  You don't need powersaved 
either, feel free to kill that process.  I just found out that gkrellm 
is for handling themes under gnome; kill that too.  It would be really 
interesting to know if one of those was the hog.

Too bad you've already reinstalled the system.  But I understand that 
real work is far more important than looking at interesting system 
configurations. :-)  Afterall, one of them pays the bills...
