Swarm means that maybe it was not a good idea to throw a rock into that beehive - look at the angry bees and that's a swarm. In A2 rendering an animation, you see the dots changing every frame, black to white to black... Like a mass of moving insect; like brownian motion.
I was pretty sure you have that. That is the reason why your battery is dropping.
I have no swarm effect on GU mode. I have instead flashing areas - those corresponding to a pretty strict mid-grey. If most of the dots changed every frame - that's an equivalence to a swarm -, most of the screen would flash!
There is no dithering on GU mode. If you see dithering, you are in A2. If you are in GU, open some images and look better: you are to see bands, not gradients.
The dithering is a minor impactor in the swarming effect in A2. That the screen changes every frame while it should remain static, that is the major impactor.
The closest thing to a ticket was raised with Onyx. Otherwise, the matter - including solutions - was commented in past posts.
Your best bet is to see if your video settings remove the swarm. Then, stay in GU and measure the battery performance.
