Bluetooth PAN is obvious power-saver, but WiFi? I may be wrong, but AFAIK QT mobile hotspot use static GUI that run set of scripts, and in this thread we got scripts itself. Doesn't leave much room for power-saving.

I'm actually comparing to Joikuspot in term of power consumption, and referring to the technical issues of mobile hotspot with kernel update, and that occasional technical issues is what driven me to make a script version.

Of course, I'd be grateful if you'd help do the battery profiling and comparison with mobile hotspot, and share with us the results.
