Just wondering if anyone here has tips for how I can reduce the battery use when running Parallels Desktop 6 to access my Windows 7 boot camp partition on my Macbook Air 11".

Whilst the benefits of virtualisation are obvious, the drain on battery life makes me almost want to always use boot camp unless I'm plugged in to the power because the battery life drops by about 50% the moment I start running it!
