The above graphs show higher power usage with Chrome. Fact. That will translate directly to shorter battery life.

No, not really. There are several active threads at the Chromium Issues website about improving the power usage. Reading the threads I would say it's a work in progress, mostly in the early stages. It will certainly take some months until a significant set of patches will be released to the (experimental) Chrome Dev channel. Beta and stable channel are always some weeks behind.
I'm a confident Chrome user, but I don't think that Chrome will ever be as battery friendly as the MUI IE. Chrome has to support several OS while the IE team can focus on Windows. MS has put a lot of effort in their development tools, e.g. the Energy Consumption Profiler in Visual Studio 2013. That's paying off.

I wish MUI IE and Chrome would get together and make a baby taking the best parts of each.

I'm loving this screen grab method. I'm assuming you are using OneNote?
How do you add the cut out etc around the image? Do you know any good guides on this ? Thanks. Roy.

According to Chrome Issues the clock rate bug has just been fixed:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=153139#c92
The patch has been applied to Chrome Canary. The Dev channel should get it with next release, probably next week. Beta and stable channel should have in a few weeks.

Roy, it's the Snipping Tool. Click on the link in my sig...
The old Faron Young song went "Live fast, love hard & die young".
Frank. You love that pen, don't you. Ill love it to when I figure how to use it like you can.
I wonder why this isn't reported anywhere. I hope the fix will soon come to the stable version.

The fix has been marked for Milestone 38, so it should be included in the next major Chrome release.
As far as I can see the fix works fine. Looking at Intel's Power Gadget, Chrome's power consumption in light or nearly idle use seems to be reduced. I didn't have a chance to test how much longer the battery will last on a typical workday.
