heh, try rendering (=viewing) a large pdf on 300-400mz 32mb ram little
embedded pocket, handheld system like a nano note or a zipit. they
struggle. compared to html which quickly renders in a text cli (with
images) web browser.

I do not think it makes any difference: in both cases, the CPU probably runs
at the lowest available frequency ('cpufreq-info' in a terminal can tell you
the current frequencies). The same holds for the GPU (if you have a separate
video card). You can reduce the brightness of the screen to save energy.
And do not believe that a black background wastes less energy than a white
background: it was the case with CRT screens but it is not true for LCD
screens (it usually is the opposite!):
