    Any have numbers of how much more time can be gained on a W500 running integrated vs switchable graphics? I'm running Windows 7 x64 w/ a 9-cell.

    This may or may not help you, but on Vista x64 I was able to squeeze out at least 3.5 hours more on a 6 cell battery when I would switch from dedicated to integrated. The relationship with a 9 cell should be much more than linear.
