I would think that in this age of mobile computing - with so many
notebooks and netbooks around that this would be considered a very
serious bug for this large (and growing) user group. I haven't done
enough testing to confirm but I think this bug is also affecting many
other (perhaps all) Lucid systems (I think it may just more apparent on
laptops because of noticable reduced battery life). Some adhoc testing
has shown that a very basic 10.04 server install (running on KVM) is
chewing noticeably more cpu cycles Also I think the ever growing focus
on more efficient power and concerns for reducing environmental
footprint would also be factors

As a workaround I have found using the Karmic kernel restores battery
life (and reduces overheating). Whilst it works, its hardly an ideal
situation and not really useful for newb users. This sort of serious
regression, especially when left unaddressed, is a really unfortunate
blight for such a promising notable and user friendly distro. Even
moreso when this is a LTS. I was hoping to run 10.04 on a number of work
netbooks that I administer. Unfortunately it looks like that may not be
a realistic option.

Is there anything ppl like myself can do to assist getting this bug
fixed asap?
