The entire RAM in the OGO is always powered. It doesn't matter how much data
is in it. As far as I know, the only thing that will effect the battery drain
when the unit is off, is having "Touch screen to turn on" enabled. This option
seems to require sampling the touch screen state, which increases the battery
drain.
