Comment(by sridhar):

 The impact of this problem is large. Teachers are not using collaboration
 because they cannot depend upon it. We can turn off power management to
 make it smoother, but that shortens the time the XO can be used in the
 day.

 There is some good discussion in
 [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2012-February/ January] and
 [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2012-February/ February] (see the
 threads titled "Impacts of disabling Automatic Power Management").

 A 'perfect' solution is proving hard to come by, and it is quite common
 for deployments to disable automatic power management. As a
 [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2012-February/034288.html
 workaround], we can
 [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2012-February/034305.html
 suspend] automatic power management whenever a collaboration session is
 active.
