Well, Ive always been slightly bothered by the fluctuations, since its a
single-board-computer
that is doing little work, has no cpufreq (ie fixed freq), etc.
I suppose the wifi card draws more when transmitting, and hlt instruction
saves CPU power intermittently, and the PSU is not oversized for
board+wifi-card.
And I guess, if the numbers had looked sufficiently weird you'd have
noted it
(which is in part why I included it)
thanks
