When the menu is popping up it's updated, so some time needed to get battery value, free RAM value, internal temperature and uptime. Real-time updating wasn't planned because of CPU usage, it can be implemented, but IMO it's quite useless. If it's really needed, it can be added in .24/.26 stables.

Thanks for the heads up. I was losing 3% every five minutes at idle. But I wasn't sure how to read the info presented. But I guess "CPUFreq: 400MHz" suggests I have the same problem as you.

Is there a way to check what the CPU is at without Advanced Battery? Some cli method? I'd be curious to know what it's at with Advanced Battery disabled.

Just installed HomeCPUSpeed

Yep. Just run
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

xterm gave output: 165000.

Can I assume this is less than when Advanced Battery reports 400MHz?

Nope. Advanced Power reads its frequency from that file. If you choose (with sound off) e.g. powersave governor in AP and wait a while it gonna show 165MHz.

So, AP is set to "On Demand" and reads "CPUFreq: 400Mhz". But cli method outputs 165000.

I've tried it three times. Same divergent results.

But, you're right, if I change to powersave, both say 165000. Why is this?

lm2, running ondemand will speed the cpu up to 400 as demand increases over some present %age.

running a python GUI app tiself may trigger the increase and push cpu to 400mhz for reading the value.

using the command line is typically a LOT less strain on the system so the cpu will sit idle and be on slowest speed.

powersave should show 165 all the time, on demand should be variable, perforance should show 400 all the time.

Thanks. Which setting does the tablet use default out of the box. I had assumed it was Ondemand, simply because qole's turbo debian gives two options: ondemand and performance.
