I must have overseen the post in Caolans blog. Some improvements are to come in 3.2 and 3.3. That's really good to know. Thx Jim A thanks for this information.

He says the real culprit for waking up the CPU was some never-ending timers that keep running even at idle. AFAIK he is working on that. With that said, to answer your question, any performance optimization in general cuts down wasteful CPU cycles, so it will in theory improve the battery life. @JimYC: Yeah, actually Caolan McNamara mentioned about that in his blog.

I read that OOo is "responsible" for waking up the CPU for no real purpose resulting in a lower battery life. I learned about this while reading information about powertop by Intel. I guess your performance improvement will surely lead to a longer battery life though in this case the CPU has something to do. Hope you know what I mean. Regards Jim P.S.: Great stuff, thx.

So, consider that one coming. :-) @Gary: yup, I designed that popup to be reusable precisely for replacing the current un-sexy autofilter dialog. So, consider that one coming. :-)

I will change the wording a bit to make it more explicit. Good point! @RGB: Yeah I agree. I will change the wording a bit to make it more explicit. Good point!

I would love to see those sexy filter dialogs that you have in data pilots also working in automatic column filters, especially the check boxes. You can get the same functionality with the standard filters, but it is not nearly as easy as the check boxes in the data pilot filter. Keep up the good work. Awesome work Kohei.

Something like "allow saving even if there was no change" is better, IMHO. Anyway, great work!
