XO 1.5 Preliminary Battery Life Tests, Youtube Performance

The battery life when the laptop is suspended (but running
the backlight and the WLAN) of an XO-1 and an XO-1.5 were
compared.

The XO-1 lasted 10h 20m.
The XO-1.5 lasted 12h 15m.

WLAN wakeups were disabled on the XO-1 to even the playing
field, as the build I was using on the XO-1.5 (os48) doesn't have
them yet.

These are preliminary tests on the battery life of the updated OLPC XO 1.5, run by John Watlington of the OLPC Foundation.
