Battery Drain whilst using XDK

[Nick_F_2]

If just noticed that whilst running XDK, on a Macbook Air i7 with 8GB RAM, that I typically get 2 hours runtime. If I close XDK I get around Average Energy impact runs at around 26.78 compared to say 4.7 for Microsoft Outlook. XDK whilst running is also marked as preventing sleep in the Energy Activity Monitor.

It's possible that something is running in the Emulator in the background.  Try switching to the Emulator tab and hitting the "Stop" button.  I saw a big difference in the Energy Impact when I did that.  When I first start the XDK without running anything my Energy Impact is under 5.
