Is it possible to make vgaswitcheroo switch between GPU based on load?

For example, when computer would be in idle it would turn off discrete and use only integrated; when enough load would accumulate on it it would automatically turn on discrete graphics and disable integrated.

My second question is whether there is any GUI applet or something that I could use to manually switch between GPUs - instead of manually echoing in switch file?

Edit: I found answer to last question at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
