How long did each kernel compile take, with ICTC=0 and ICTC=0x21, and
what was the average current consumption in each case?

I would expect that the total battery charge used could well be higher
with ICTC=0x21 than with ICTC=0, particularly if you had the LCD
backlight on during the compile. :)

Paul.
