[chromium-dev] Browser power use

2009-12-16 Thread Joel Stanley
Hello Chromium, Continuing with my interest in Chromium's effect on battery life I've been playing with an ARM build of Chromium on the BeagleBoard, with power instrumentation. I've taken power measurements showing Firefox and Chromium at cold start, warm start and loading Gmail. http://jms.id.
