I haven't looked at the ROM, but it sounds more like the charge/transfer
rate of the color display. I've deleted the original post, does the
problem occur suddenly, at a particular power level, or does it get
progressively worse over a range of power levels?
If it is the former, I'd bet that there is a power conservation gimmick
in the ROM for the color display. If it is the later, I'd look at the
display hardware config itself. Presumably, any program that lists
"frame rate" is pushing the display harder than the typical Palm app...

No. That would be silly. (Because the CPU already dozes when there's
nothing for it to do, slowing down would only make it take longer until
there was nothing more to do, and that would actually use more power by
keeping the other components active longer!)
Your problem is very bizarre. I'm stumped, and really interested.
Please
keep investigating and let us know what you find!
