Propeller current consumption

Hey,

Unless I am reading it incorrectly, page 27 of the Propeller datasheet (v1.4) specifies that 1 cog running assembly loops at about 80MHz consumes about 5mA (x 8 = 40mA). Is this correct? If so, has anyone else recorded higher current consumption?

    The 5mA does not include the current drawn by the hub logic and memory (roughly 10mA) nor the PLL logic (roughly 1mA). I took the overall Propeller current drain minus the drain of 8 cogs running a JMP loop and added back the current drain of a single cog running a JMP loop plus the PLL current drain to get my total.
