I tested running full out - screen brightness on full, full processor
speed, none of the power management engaged, and I was always doing
stuff for the 4 hours. If I enable some of the power management or
don't do things for long periods of time, I can easily get well over
6 hours.

If you could try it once and report back to me, I'd really appreciate it.
I'll try the other problems you had, except I don't have hibernation
enabled - only a 170 megger.

I'm keeping in touch with him too. :) If you've got a pseudo-list,
by all means put me on it.
