Battery life should be a bit less and heat production higher (compared with Apple's EFI) as the macbook2,1 coreboot port doesn't yet have C state 3 (idle) for the C2D CPU, but fortunately it does have the two other C states (1 and 2) today. I myself have only tried the first port which didn't have any C states at all. That machine got extremely hot and wasn't at all comfortable to use. I'm looking forward to reflashing the machine to the newest release.

In the meantime, if someone could run powertop with and without all power savings set to good, I would be interested to see the results. Personally, I'm more interested in heat production/noise than battery life since these old machines never really worked very long on just battery.
