If I didn't do that I'd get 'calcru' errors - when the CPU went 'dozy' (i.e. power saving), or 'wd0: seek errors' when the hard drive span down... I know other people have gotten varying milage out of the APM stuff, but try the system with as much of it disabled as you can... ;-) - Have a look at the -mobile list for more details...
