650 watt power draw!!!

[bender222]

When I first installed coconut battery I saw ~10 watt draw. I was amazed that now that the computer is plugged in and only a virtual machine + browser and itunes is open it reads as over 650 watts!

Imagine the power draw if you were running flash as well.

You realize this is definitely a bug in CoconutBattery, right?
