Yet another benchmark of 3C Toolbox, to confirm how widgets may affect battery drain.

Battery monitoring is on at all times. Recorder set to record everything at an interval of 20 minutes. 3 Widgets have been added to home screen. Every other settings are set to their defaults, that is widgets do not refresh themselves in standby.

It shows that 3C Toolbox consumes 20.66 seconds of CPU per day to record full battery history, application data (memory and CPU), WiFi, BT, GPS and plugged states!

Actual drain during those 14 hours of standby is too small to be measured, which is expected on a Tablet without 3G.
