i would guess so too but i have never seen calibration happen over a 5 hour period steadily.

That's due to the battery chemistry. If you hit it hard over a short period, then let it rest it recovers somewhat. Often seen in AA devices.

I think it has to do with the chemical reactions at the electrodes using up their reactants faster than fresh stuff diffuses over. Give it time and diffusion evens out the electrolyte and you get more to react at the electrode. I don't know how this compares to lithium chemistry.


I was originally popping in to suggest people run "top -d 240" to get a good idea of what is suing CPU power while idle.
This runs top only updating every 4 minutes to avoid the observer effect of the top process itself consuming cycles.

Doing this with a good setup I see 0% CPU usage while idle. The built in IM client is actually very good in this regard better than pidgin which causes 1-3% CPU time idle. I haven't looked at many of the programs too see how much they use yet.
