MacBook Performance Plunges When Battery Removed

Before you say "why would anyone remove their battery from their laptop when plugged in?," there are some who do so in the hopes of extending their battery lifespan. And before you scoff at a performance hit of this sort, we're not talking a small amount: it's a 37% degradation.

Hmmm, interesting, but not surprising really - thanks for this Iria. They might have doing this for awhile acutally. I might check my manager's 17" early 2008 Macbook Pro for this...

"adaptor" is not a mispelling - I have always spelled it that way. I've seen it spelled "adapter" recently, and it still doesn't look right to me...
