+======Synopsis:======
+[[bind]] <key> cpu_saver
+======Description:======
+This keybinding immediately switches the client to CPU saver mode.
+Normally, when CPU saver is inactive, the system clock, notify system, and mail
+checking occur via regular intervals controlled by [[set CLOCK_INTERVAL]],
+[[set NOTIFY_INTERVAL]], and [[set MAIL_INTERVAL]].  When CPU saver is
+activated, these sets are ignored, and the interval given by [[set
+CPU_SAVER_EVERY]] is used instead.
+When you are logged out or away from the keyboard for a long period of
+time, it is usually not time critical that your system clock update
+exactly at the top of the minute, or that your notifies fire exactly
+every minute, or that mail is detected the same minute it arrives.
+You can save a lot of CPU usage by only doing these checks periodically
+while you are away.
+======History:======
+This keybinding first appeared in EPIC4pre0.041.
