Since installing MT on my early 2011 MBP, my battery life seems to have gone down the drain. I'm able to use my laptop for about 2-3 hours before I need to charge it again and this is on simple wifi browsing only… maybe one tab of cnn or such.

Prior to installing MT, I was getting about 6-7 hours for the same task which is consistent with the 7 hour battery life.

Anyone else have this problem? Would a simple re-installation of MT solve it? I want to confirm it will before I re-install as it is a lengthy process.
