I meant 1.5. Few people have 1.75 and since ASR is not fully operational 
its not fun testing when your system crashes.

You can even do it on a XO-1 if you allow ASR to happen which is 
disabled by default.

Powerd logs transitions into and out of suspend.  So given a powerd 
logfile you can determine how much suspend % was achieved.  The % of 
time you can go into suspend is much more workload dependent than it is 
machine dependent.  The % suspend on a 1.5 should roughly the same as it 
would be on a 1.75.

Again for testing you must be using the latest OS release.  The last 
release (build 860) had a bug that makes this data difficult to extract.
