If you take a look at http://www.planetarytramp.net/bootchart/bootchart-20041210-1934.png, you will see that it actually is CPU-bound in some places and I/O-bound in other. S20 runs after about twenty seconds. I really don't think having your CPU run at full speed for twenty seconds is going to matter much for your battery life. -- Tollef Fog Heen ,''`.
