From the eeeForum imabuddha writes:
"Last night when I put my eee into suspend by closing the lid it had
nearly 100% power. Nine hours later I when I woke it up it still showed
60%, and I used it for over an hour with full brightness, wifi, etc.,
and still had about 20%.
It seems my eee is only using ~5%/hour in suspend. I only have the
stock 512MB ram, and I wonder if those with 1 or 2MB ram are seeing the
higher suspend power usage."
