Interesting that there are differences in power consumption between Linux distributions. I guess with the myriad of possible configuration parameters, the various profiles can mean anything. I measure power consumption of any system I set up, and dynamic CPU clocking (SpeedStep, Cool'n'Quiet) definitely help a lot. Yet another reason why I ended up ditching Xen. The main gains by far are made with picking the right hardware, though. PSUs, CPUs, motherboards. For desktops/workstations, graphics cards. For servers, hard disks.
