Hi nicolas, your workaround script works for me, but it takes about
60seconds to resume, even with the sleep 45 removed.

I changed it to this:

#!/bin/sh

echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
sleep 2
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

exit 0

Now I get 9.8watts usage vs. 18-21ish watts and double battery life.
Works awesome like this, thanks for showing us the workaround :D

Title:
  Power consumption significantly increased after resume from suspend

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a HP Envy 14 laptop with switchable graphics (not sure if this
  is related with the issue). After disabling the dedicated GPU (and
  turning it OFF) and and enabling PCIe power saving features,
  (pcie_aspm=force in grub) the idle power consumption hovers around
  14w, a little over what Windows give, but still very good.

  However, after suspending and resuming, power consumption goes up, to
  around 20w reducing battery life significantly. Discrete GPU is still
  OFF, and there is no process using the CPU.

  I am not the only one having this problem. For reference, see:

  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502350
  http://linuxenvy.blogspot.com/2011/01/battery-life-review.html

  The first one is a Acer TravelMate Timeline 8371 (without switchable
  graphics) running Ubuntu 10.04. The second one is another HP Envy,
  running Ubuntu 10.10. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 fully updated.

  I think this is a important problem and should be studied for the next
  LTS at least. If I can help with more info, I gladly will.
