Hmm.  I'll go with a probably on that, depends on interrupt response
latency etc so isn't entirely obvious.  Faster response doesn't necessarily
mean lower power.

The reason for interrupts in such devices is usually precisely the opposite.

You do it because things are slow enough that you can go to sleep
for a long time before the interrupt occurs.

So question becomes whether there are circumstances in which we are
running with long timescales and would benefit from using interrupts.
