When I lowered the value to the point where it seemed to have an actual effect, powerd started to consume a measurable amount of CPU performance. I think that powerd _should_ consume near zero CPU for its purpose. So if you play with the -p option, I recommend to watch it in top(1), so the cure doesn't turn out to be worse than the desease.
