Grindingly slow LAN access when running off battery on Macbook

I have just got a Macbook Pro and successfully got it running Mageia. When I run it off battery however, if I am accessing shares on my local server, it just takes forever to load up the mounted shares in Dolphin. As soon as I plug in the power supply it works fine. I've never experienced anything like this before. It is the same whether I mount with smb4k or mount.cifs as root.

Anyone have any theories on why this might be happening please? Thanks.

Is the battery failing to take a full charge?

I don't think so, it works fine surfing, viewing videos etc. It's just the accessing of local machines that seems to be the problem/
