pmOS doesn't suspend properly so the battery will die in about 10 hours or less even with the screen off. Mobian gives long standby times.

Yup - I have also noticed pmOS drains my PPP much faster than anything else. Just discovered it appears to be running the cores at full speed the whole time even when idle!

Code:

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/cpufreq/scaling_governor
ondemand
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
1500000
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
