A 20% power improvement for simply choosing the previous kernel version is a no-brainer surely?

It seems like a no-brainer, provided the older kernel supports the current code in all other respects and that 20% was not peculiar to the test bed cited somehow...
Frankly, the battery life is not bad at all when not encountering the issue(s) we've been discussing, but if an extra 20% was available and had no negative impact on other features and/or new code being written it'd seem tough to pass up. Of course, they may be trying to remain as up to date in all respects as possible to more easily add new code and stay current with the development community at large.
