You sound like 1.125 watts is insignificant to a laptop, but my laptop idles around 6 watts and it is currently using 8 watts since I've got some stuff running. Shaving off 1.125 watts is a 14-19% improvement.

The point is that the shaving might not be due to the firefox variable changes, but rather to other environmental differences.
