To all. Just to clarify, I am not saying that it doesn't make sense the ZPM would deplete faster when continually holding off an attack powering the shield. It does make sense.
Rather, I just think the times seemed skewed a little too much. Assuming it was mostly a fully powered ZPM, we know it can last for over 3300 years, keeping minimal power mode and still a shield, submerged below the ocean. Now we are using it for greater power use, and yes, staving off the attack. But it just doesn't seem to make sense that this change in usage would drop it's life to mere weeks. Maybe 1000 years would be more beleivable, or even 100 years. But neither of these would fit the plot device of worrying it's gonna run out too soon. And like I said before, if such use really would deplete ZPM's so quickly, then I think the ancients would have had a room full of spares available.
Thanks!
