That sounds like it roughly matches what I've seen.
>From my tests I've found that 12 hours in suspend uses around 50-60% of
the battery charge. Which again seems power hungry to me, my Thinpad can
spend 48 hours suspended and still have enough power to boot back up and
be usable for at least 10-15 minutes.
However it's mostly a moot point for me as the fact the Eee crashes on
suspend fairly regularly means I try to avoid using it unless I really
need to because I just can't trust it.
