I have installed a few add ons, but nothing that is running in the background (other than the load applet) and I have noticed a significant battery performance dips.

I recently realized that there is a difference between true idle and just not using the tablet.

If I leave the tablet on with the browser open, the battery drains much faster than if the browser is closed. I figure that it has something to do with flash ads etc. within web pages running on continuing loops.

So, in the future I will be closing out all windows before leaving in idle.

Any other thoughts or suggestions about power efficiencies?
