determining whether a difference between the determined idle power-down count value and a previous idle power-down count value exceeds a threshold;
powering down the subsystem when the subsystem is idle for an interval not less than the determined idle power-down count value and when the difference between the determined idle power-down count value and the previous idle power-down count value exceeds the threshold; and
powering down the subsystem when the subsystem is idle for an interval not less than the previous idle power-down count value and when the difference between the determined idle power-down count value and the previous idle power-down count value does not exceed the threshold.
