This depends on whether your client is implemented over a polling architecture ( http) or a longer lived connection (persistent tcp) and whether you modulate your polling frequency based on what kind of messages you are getting ( presence or actual messages)
If you're polling, then that alone will chew through far more battery life than living with the presence updates. Well, not strictly true, but each HTTP poll would have to cost less than the octets sent in TCP ACKs, which would imply a vast number of presence updates between each poll.
If that's the problem, then the user has too many friends. ;-) Dave. -- Dave Cridland - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - acap://acap.dave.cridland.net/byowner/user/dwd/bookmarks/ - http://dave.cridland.net/ Infotrope Polymer - ACAP, IMAP, ESMTP, and Lemonade
