(The CVM will probably have a big startup overhead, which should probably be taken into account.)
touché. Actually when comparing cpu usage I was merely looking at top while turning pages. It wasn't meant to be an all inclusive test. I've read that battery life is consumed when turning pages, not when idling.

cvm does have a large overhead and loaded automatically at startup.
