Well, I took a look on /etc/defaults/rc.conf and discovered that
default values are:

```
performance_cx_lowest="C2"
economy_cx_lowest="Cmax"
```

Since article describes C3 as a pretty dangerous thing I doubt that
these parameters are worth tuning in my case.

11.0-beta4 on Fujitsu Lifebook E733 laptop. BTW it's a great laptop for
FreeBSD. Works everything including Wi-Fi adapter and hibernation.
I didn't check bluetooth, webcam and fingerprint scanner though. I
disabled this stuff in BIOS a long time ago since I don't use it anyway.
