awesome, thanks for the info! if flif does ultimately consume more CPU resources then that is a trade off I'm perfectly happy to make, I'd rather burn CPU than my heinously bandwidth capped internet.
Here in Israel, bandwidth cap is big for a cheap price - I'm paying around 13USD/month for a package including unlimited voice calls, unlimited SMS and a 3GBs data plan.
What interests me most is battery life - is more CPU and less radio power better?
