Does anyone know if the new firmware enhances the battery times on a Sage?

In my limited testing, 4.31 does improve the battery life on my Sage. Unhappily, it also seems to have introduced a serious memory leak issue. When I telnet to my Sage and run free -m, the memory tends to drop like a paralyzed falcon and does not recover. When I switch fonts, trying to use a large font file such as Arial Unicode MS can drop the reported available memory into the single digits. Shortly after that, I often found my Sage spontaneously rebooting. My workaround so far has been to use NickelMenu to reboot my Sage after every second book and when playing with the fonts.
