I don't know but with this build my Pi's getting much hotter as usual?! Idle on the homescreen before 54C, now 64C and playing live streams down to 59C.
Just an idea to "fake" power-saving while idle, it would work like the DIM screensaver but instead of dimming, it makes a screenshot of the current screen and display it, on button press it goes back to the "real" screen and delets the screenshot. Since rendering the menus have a huge impact of cpu load, but while playing/displaying content the cpu load goes down and the Pi gets cooler.
Or is it possible to under-clock/volt the Pi while idle?
//EDIT
It looks like this in advancedsettings.xml and disabling the DIM screensaver brings down the load and temps.

<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>1</nofliptimeout>
