So now I'm wondering: Does the Kindle behave differently when it is running on an external power source? Does it prioritize activities based on the power requirements of a job and delay jobs it deems would consume too much of its remaining battery power?

That's really interesting. My impression is that indexing is faster when my Kindle is plugged in to power (in my case, AC not PC) and slows down (or stops?) when the battery level is low. I thought it was my imagination, but your experience suggests it's not.
