Another interesting powersafe concept: Woodchuck

Might be interesting to also group the requests, so that the radio is woken just once, the requests are quickly processed so that it can quickly go back to sleep.

Other "powersaving best-practices":
* make the application event driven
* don't use busy waiting unless it is absolutely necessary
* don't redraw the screen if the application window is not visible
