Lower CPU usage but higher GPU usage. On my laptop I get muuuch more battery out of it (going from 6 hours to ~2 hours) if I disable everything that may wake up the GPU and force software rendering everywhere (since, unlike GPUs, it's much more often able to rerender only the parts of the screen which changed)
