This reminds me of a problem I've been having on newer versions of Chrome. Chrome, even if I'm not using it for anything, will sometimes consume so much power it drains my battery while plugged in (albeit to a previous-gen 85W brick with an adapter). There are a few threads on chrome support[1], but one of the theories is that Chrome's internal SQLite database that is used for tracking history locally is the source of the drain.

- jve 6y agoRun a profiler to see what exactly drains your power. https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/power-wastage-on-an-idle-laptop/ https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/power-wastage-o... That guy makes sure Chrome is performant and not wasting your battery.
- aeturnum 6y agoUh yah, there are people in that thread who have profiled their Chrome installs and found that SQLite was draining power. Thus my post. Since I needed to use Chrome, it didn't really matter to me why the problem was happening. But, since this was a thread on performance problems with SQLite, I posted it.
