Nonsense, you can save power when not doing computing. For example you can get 16 cylinder cars that change to 8 or 4 when not flooring it.

Not likely to change, your normal Android device just does not have the computational power or design to do sustained calculations at the level needed by F@h.

Neither do 3 of my CPUs and one of my GPUs. Pity they can't send out smaller chunks. Even medium spec machines are no good if they're used reguarly.
