Yes I recall you started the thread with that problems statement. My prior reply was to someone who hijacked your thread to report the exact opposite problem from the one you posted. Yours is more than a little weird. Have you looked at top to see what is taking the resources? Is all your ram being seen when on battery as well as on mains? (Worrying about the dread Sony Disease here - bad ram sockets). I would cd to /proc/acpi/processor/CPU and start catting some of the files in there, such as throttling, power, and see if anything is amiss. It sounds like kpowersave may be not be reporting things accurately if it is obviously slower. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
