I analyze my system's power consumption obsessively with powertop. If bug #917210 had shown up at the time I filed this bug with wake-ups directly attributable to compiz or unity, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed this. Also, as noted in comment #5, i915_enable_rc6 seems to have had a noticable impact on the power consumption when running unity.

Next time I restart my laptop, I can check out the power consumption of the 3d session and see how it compares with the version in your ppa.
