There are a lot of other possible venues for saving mAh, but until I get the CM4 in my grubby claws, I'm not going to poke too much at it yet.
We did some testing like this, too. I wonder if you could message me with the settings you used, so we could see if that yeilds much different results for us here.
Thanks!
Certainly... when I get home, dealing with some family complications and will be out of town for another week at least and sadly all my Pi related goodies, notes and other stuff is at home.
As soon as I get access to it again, I'll pipe it over!
