In this particular case it doesn't solve the case where you're on A/C power 
but simply don't want to waste you CPU power on this. 30% usage of one core 
on an Athlon64 4200+ looks like a lot IMO, as a user I'd prefer see this used 
for something else. So unfortunately, you won't avoid the setting here...

Anyway, it's a very good suggestion for automatically turning off the most 
power hungry effects, might be a good idea for kwin compositing too?

Regards.
