Somewhere in the settings you can kill the prefetch AND the
eternal_running_on_the_background_ressource_eating defrag. Helps keep your battery a bit longer charged.
Same with indexing the files, keep that to a minimum.
As Vista is continuesly doing all kinds of thingies on the background that burden the CPU I can't call it very laptop friendly.
Of course, what you can't shut down is the cooling fan(s). And they also consume a lot of energy.
But yeah, you wanted a fast CPU, those need cooling :).
