If you can optimize power consumption on your hardware, by all means
go ahead. But arbitrary limit "don't suspend more than twice a second"
is probably not a way to go... not without some analysis.

You may want to take a look at n900 -- it uses regular idle, not
suspend, to save power.

Are you sure autosleep does not already have equivalent functionality?
