@amorek13: From some other threads it appears that there's a pulse audio equalizer which runs in the CPU (unlike the actual player application), it's there to protect the speakers from damage from certain frequencies. If you try with a headset instead then the equalizer presumably shouldn't run.
marbles DRAINS the battery as well. so do other games. it is almost sick.
Of course usage that is both CPU and GPU intensive, will use the battery very fast. You don't get too long battery life with a laptop playing 3D games either.
If you want to test out these things yourself, here are some hints to use. On terminal, you can get good information about battery status with command "lshal|grep bat". It will include some unnecessary information as well. To only get current mAh remaining use the following alias:
alias b="lshal|g ng.c"
And then to check battery level I use "uptime;b" to get both current time as well as current mAh remaining. Then keep the terminal on background to see both old values as well as new values. Do note you can scroll the terminal text to see backlog.

this might be a noob question but how do u key in that vertical line between the l and g "lshal|grep bat".
Ooooh ... thanks for making me try the Symobl option ... that'll be useful ...

I only have nokia messaging on and the only widgets are the callender and data usage meter. I did not browse either.
I did dl something from extras over Wifi though. I then did the ifconfig command but after inputing it I dont seem to get a response. If i just do ifconfig wlan0 this is i see:

It's using SDL. Which is not as power-saving friendly as other solutions I was told (my mClock is using PyGame which uses SDL which seems to disable some CPU power saving states).

Command not working -sh: lshal|grep bat: not found
