After working on the wiki page I see that you were talking about the 
idle measurement here where the CPU was active.  Interesting.  I'll 
certainly re-run my measurements and see.

Perhaps its a build regression.  Those test were run quite a while ago. 
I see I didn't list the build nor upload the raw files. (Which would 
have the build /me smacks self) I might be able to find them in my huge 
store of log files by the date encoded in the file name if I kept them.
