Since GNOME 3 uses hardware acceleration by default, I assume that it will be worse for battery life on my laptop, but I can't actually find anything to back this up, and by how much. Has anyone done benchmarks of this yet?I really like the interface but I don't want to kill my battery life by upgrading (and I'm on a distro where it would be difficult to go back).
How does battery life on a laptop compare between GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 (GNOME Shell)?
