If that's the case, I wonder if changing the CPU governor from Interactive to something different (ex. Ondemand) would make a difference? No idea what the effect on battery life would be, though.

Code:
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_governor
where X is the number of your processor core, starting at 0 (are the newer devices multi-core? If so, run the command once for each core; if not, just run it once using 0). Of course, you can substitute whatever supported CPU governor your device supports instead of ondemand (like maybe conservative).

You can input the above command in a terminal via telnet/ssh or turn it into a nickelmenu command with cmd_spawn. Note that it will reset back to Interactive whenever you reboot or switch to a different application like koreader.
