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
