Problems when on battery power

When on battery power:

• Disk I/O grinds to a halt every 5-10 seconds

• USB mice stop working

• ethernet bandwidth is throttled

Laptop-mode-tools is disabled - the daemon is not started, /var/run/laptop-mode-enabled does not exists, and /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode is zero.

Check BIOS for powersaving stuff and disable it
