My battery is definitely not lasting as long as it once did, either, but I have attributed this to natural wear of the battery and my poor charging habits. I have "noticed" less battery life since upgrading to the latest firmware, but didn't exactly time it with my watch...so it might just be my cantankerous nature looking for something to grumble about.

One observation I have is that running Maemo Process Viewer or just plain old PS I tend to notice a lot of instances of processes with the same name and some of em gobble up quite a lot of memory. By default, just booting up my tablet I am running with about 4 MB free memory (with 0 swap use).

Here is a list of processes which have multiple entries in MPV:

pdflush
dsme
dbus-daemon
ke-recv
maemo-launcher
mediaplayer-eng
metalayer-crawl
dbus-vfs-daemon
osso-media-serv

A few of these I know the function of, but for the most part I am clueless. Anyone care to educate me as to whether having multiple copies of these running is normal? What sort of free mem use do you have on a clean boot?
