hmm i'll have to rephrase my question... i KNOW that the file changes 
every 10 seconds... easiest would be i just give you the source code ;)
the program is a nice little windows which displays ACPI information 
about battery status and stuff like that. the program is working just 
fine. but i want the performance tweak it...

here is the link to the source code:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=108369&package_id=117073

help would be greatly appreciated!
