Power as in Watts?

Becuase Power usage if noramlly defined with the amount of hardware. So if ran on the same machine, the only thing that would cause a power difference is the amount of CPU usage really. Dos by default uses the least. (I say default because all the others use GUI's)

Though I doubt the difference would be a significant amount.
