SPB Pocket Plus draining battery ?

I use Axim X5 basic. Everything went fine untill I upgraded PocketPC2002 to WM2003. My battery started to last for around 2 hours.
Just yesterday i did a hard reset of my Axim. Surprisngly the battery got a new life with clean system - lasting for 6-7 hours. After installing all software I use- problem returned.
Few hour of work and... it seems to me that the cause of all that battery problems was SPB Pocket Plus 2.0 ( previosly I used 1.3 )
When Pocket Plus installed - processor speed is always 300MHz in auto power saving mode.. Without PPlus - it seems to be ok - 200 MHz when doing nothing or playing audio.
Have any of You got the same experience ?
Regards

It seems like you need to change some settings in pocketplus 2.0 if you want to get down to 200mhz (thats never a problem for me, i have the basic model). Apparently pocketplus sthinks you need 300mhz as a minimum for something. Of course, it could be that it is just eating up enough processor power that the lowest that the axim can operate at (due to some built-in setting in 2k3 that i have no proof to back up) so it simply cannot get below 300mhz. Again i have no proof to back up either of those things, but they seem the most likely. Maybe someone who actually uses pocketplus will respond?
