Mind you, I am speaking from the current Firmware. There were some earlier versions which did not offer this.
Click Settings
Scroll Down to About device
Click Power Management
Choose Overdrive.
And away you go

It has barely affected my battery life use, But It did make it more usable. I do not know why this is not the default. I use mine for mixed use. If you want to have a true lightweight launcher, Use Zeam. I have used ADW. but it takes you a bit to get used to it. I alternate between Zeam and Default launcher. I had to run the Market fix, two times before I saw all of the apps. And I may still be missing some. I have found the one I was looking for though.

I used Adw for a while but there was a constant issue between landscape and portrait mode. I have since been using zeam and I like it a lot. I think the default on the archos is landscape, and adws default is portrait, and it caused a conflict on rebooting, I had to restart the launcher every time I rebooted, then it was fine in portrait mode only.

With zeam I've been in landscape all the time no problemsn
