A notebook computer is set up to take maximum advantage of power saving features including shutting down the display and the hard disk after periods of inactivity. A user sometimes runs UNIX programs in text mode, and at other times uses the $X$ Window System. She is surprised to find that battery life is significantly better when she uses text-only programs. Why?
