THis is just an idle snippet when rekonq has a total of 10 tabs open. All tabs have their page loaded. So, there's no live activity going on. Maybe the gmail tabs might have some activity in the background.


I was surprised to see IceDove (ThunderBird) to be using so less power. My IceDove setup is pretty heavyweight with 2 IMAP a/c (1 IMAP + 1 D-IMAP) + RSS Feed + Leafnode NNTP.

Perhaps there's room for improvement in the power consumption for rekonq.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run rekonq while on battery.
Actual Results:  
Keeps the cpu awake

Expected Results:  
should be consuming lesser power.
