I found some today plug-ins do a refresh at certain intervals. tAgenda, I believe, is one. Every 15 minutes or so, it would blank out and refresh on the today screen. I think this type thing is what causes unneeded battery usage. I'm not sure on icbar itself but I tried it on two occasions and both times, noticed higher battery drainage.

On that topic, I suspect WM2003 uses much more battery than PPC2002 did. Anyone else see this?

I have posted in the past how impressed I was that I never fell below 80% battery power with PPC2002, even using my WCF12 card.

With WM2003, it dropped to 56% last night in the 40 minutes I was playing around with cLaunch. Nothing else was running and no WCF12 card.

What gives?
