During which time the power continues to drain, albeit slowly. Just pick a reasonable idle time in Rockbox and if you're back in time, the idle power cost is almost trivial. > I am forced to wait through about 12 > seconds of powerup, spinup, boot (10s there) and finally the logo and > restarting playing (2-3s depending on how I count) > Picking a good idle timeout will help minimize how often you have to wait, and better balance "power saving" vs "fast access to the software."
