I’m not sure it’s worth to invest too much effort in such optimisations unless they can yield perceived performance improvements or cost reductions. For Google, a 0.1% decrease in power consumption pays for itself in hours, but for mere mortals (and regular companies) it often doesn’t.

It’s a fun sport though. I love it.
