I tend to work with numerous apps running at the same time. When I use expose functions with the power connected the UI is perfectly fuild.. However when I run my MBP (2.16 2GB ram)on the batt it becomes jittery which SERIOUSLY bugs me hehe. It's the same with all macbooks really.. I guess the CPU or GPU clocks are lowered without the power in order to extend batt life (correct me if I'm wrong). I've already tried setting it to 'better peformance' in energy saver while on the batt (which seemed like the obvious thing to do) but there's no difference really. Is there any way around it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

edit:
Pls, before i kena hentam for not searching the forums thoroughly enough (googled as well), let me assure you that I have and if it is actually on the forum pls point me to it, thanks

Head to System Preferences > Energy Saver; click "Show Details", choose Settings for: Battery, under the "Options" tab, "Processor Performance" set it to Highest.

Try it and revert here.

Don't have that option..

I've only got :

Reduce the brightness of the built-in display when using this power source
Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep
Show battery status in menu bar

All of which I've left ticked

Click on your battery icon, and select "Normal" or "Better Performance". You say you're using the previous pre-santa rosa MBP? If so, its the same as mine and I don't notice that jittery-ness unless I haven't exposed in awhile...
