O.k. Maybe one way for further updates could be to update the battery related 
values (and poll  /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state) only, if somebody ask for 
the actuall values. Maybe the best way to reduce systemload.

I understand your intention. In this case we should implement this as said 
above, but I'm not shure about it.  I would avoid, that several programs try 
to get battery information from proc. 

Is there a way to say HAL something like: "send me a message if a (defined) 
value changed"?

I will think about it and speak with the maintainer of powersave in the next 
days.
