I'm pretty sure the Powerbook CPUs do this in OS X by default.  In fact,
it's the primary reason you can't run OS X Server on a PowerBook G4--no
support for nap mode (well, that, and other power management).

Also, I found CHUD impossible to uninstall once I wanted to get rid of
it for some reason that I can no-longer recall.
