I don't run any special background process at all. Most of the time my cpu load average is around 0.03 so it's wasting a lot cpu cycles practically. One thing for sure...when I turn on my computer after it has been turned off, tha't s the time when I notice it the most...that's the reason I conclude that it most be the internal battery. Apart from that, I always leave my computer on - most of the time- so I'll need to investigate this. Thanks, Jorge
