Anyone installed Panther on a Powerbook and noticed increased battery life?

On Alu17 the same ol' 3-4 hours. Which is still great considering the size of the screen, etc compared to a Windows laptop with a 17" screen (ok ok, so they have 10Ghz CPUs)

So what is the calculated time remaining? I know this isn't what the actual battery life will be, I was just curious. Probably won't be able to install Panther on my PB until tomorrow.
