You can have Manila prefetch webpages you use a lot and save you time NOT downloading when you go to look at them!

Battery drain is due to hardware use and only if you use things like GPS trackers, lots of data and talk a lot. then you will burn your battery.

But software doesn't drain power unless it is using some radio or hardware port in the device.

IE:
Heavy use of gsensor (play teeter or rotate your screen automatically).
GPS Tracker which needs to not only keep the GPS reciever and com port running but also has to upload data to the site that is showing everyone where you are...

So lets not put out false info here...
Umm software can most certainly drain your battery
