No worries, it was a passing curiousity as all my bare metal runs Mandriva except a gaming boot and the two osX machines.
On my work issued machine, I tend to get more battery out of the WinXP boot. In that case, I am not free to modify partitions so I can only use a liveCD against it without power save tuning. There again, it's not a balanced comparison between the two.
