I saw it.  I have some concern about the linear behaviour when going
up (don't mind, I'm never happy ;).  We'll miss the case where
there are bursts.  There were some heuristics such as the
excess_cycle trick that may help if we consider this algorithm.
(search ReducedEnergyScheduling.ps in your favorite search engine).
