A power-managed server data processing system comprises a bus configured to communicatively couple a power-managed server with a data processing system resource and a bus controller coupled to the bus. The bus controller comprises bus control logic configured to process a plurality of access requests associated with the bus, and power management logic configured to inhibit processing of a current access request of the plurality of access requests by the bus control logic for a power management delay time period. The power management delay time period is determined utilizing a processing latency time period associated with a prior access request of the plurality of access requests.
