Binary package hint: acpid

My system is an Acer Aspire 1410 (2009 11.6" netbook, not the full sized
laptop released in 2005) with a Core 2 Solo @ 1.4 ghz.

Under Windows Vista or Windows 7, the battery life is roughly 6 hours
when idling with screen at moderate bringness and wi-fi on.

Under Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, it is about 4 to 4.5 hours. Same conditions.

Under Lucid (April 13th) 64-bit, it is about 3 to 3.5 hours. Same
conditions. (Bug reported from this.)

I have checked and made sure no process is using up any more than 1% CPU
in the background with gnome-system-monitor.
