Wait, wha...?!  Write game-engine-like code if you care about *battery
life*??  I mean... fluid experience, sure, perf, OK, but *battery
life*?!  Unless I've been living in the wrong universe all this time,
that's gotta be the most incredible statement ever.  I've yet to see a
fluid, high-perf game engine *not* drain my battery like there's no
tomorrow, and now you're telling me that I have to write code like a
game engine in order to extend battery life?

I think I need to sit down.
