Metatrader on a Mac eats my battery!

Anyone else find that using MT4 on a mac makes their battery last for 2-3 hours instead of 10-12. Is there anything that can be done about this?
thanks

Just done a test. 10 hours battery then turn on MT4 and it drops to 2.5 hours. How can it use so much resources?

I can't answer your question, but out of interest are you using Wine?
I recall another unhappy Wine-on-Mac user recently complaining of excessive data usage (different problem, I know).
Maybe all is not well with Wine for Mac?

yeh it is wine. Frustrating that I have a lack of potability that I wanted from my macbook.

Use a VPS / remote desktop

I tried wine to and its awful

macs are great machines, but still the number one question on support forums is "how can I run my windows program"....

do they do any battery diagnostic tools for MAC to show which program is using the most ie: wine or MT
