BTW, how you do guys monitor the current consumption in your setups?
Do you have a datalogger that monitor voltage and/or current with time?

You could use something like the Eagletree E-Logger:

Only problem with this is its maximum 10sample/second rate, which means that the peaks it records will still be averages over a 100ms period.
