i suppose there's some law of physics that says it must, but i don't have any complaints about battery life with my tablet, and i always have load-applet running.

i don't know anything about R&D mode. i've never understood what it's for. but i think you should be able to install htop without R&D. it's not a particularly specialized development tool or anything. try different repositories. add chinook and extras, free and non-free repositories. htop should be in there somewhere. sorry i can't be of more help with that issue.
