This bug also affects my NB200 (2GB RAM) running ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition.

Can I ask before I try it:

Exactly how much reduction in battery life (either in minutes or % of normal usage) does the nohz=off fix cause? And how does this compare with CPU 'always low' setting?
In other words, does anyone have real life experience of the tests noted in comment #10? In my case I could use my netbook with 10.04 on a daily train commute, 2h 20min total. If my battery charge with 10.10 now reduces below that figure I can't work (but then I can't work if it keeps freezing, either...).

I'm not asking about the "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" fix because as I understand it this doesn't actually put a stop to the freezes.

Thanks.
