Toward Zero_Power Zone, Help me find out The way of Reducing power consumption

Hello, I need your help, I'm newest on mbed.

I am developing project, using servo motor.

This project is including battery always, it will be never split from main frame.

So, I need to last a battery as long as I can, I measured ampere, It's originally 0.3mA,

after I declare 'Servo' class, It becomes 1.3mA. this additional power consumtion is not from servo motor.

Not sure, MCU consum the power. if you know anything about where the power is consumed, please tell me

I want to maintain the power 0.3mA.

What I thought the way was that free the class memory to make MCU doesn't know where servo is.

To Sum up

- I want to reduce power consumption

- After declare 'Servo' class the ampere 0.3mA -> 1.3mA

- I am trying to free class memory <- this is the problem

This is the code :

1.

void setServo(){

  Servo servo;

  servo.write(90);

  return;

}

int main(){

  while(1){

  setServo();

  }

}

2.

int main(){

  while(1){

  Servo *servo = new Servo();

  servo->write(90);

  delete servo;

  }

}

this is only sample code how I tried.

this code was work well at first time,

but second declare it didn't work,

anybody knows how i can fix it?

or recommand the way of reduing power consumption by servo motor,

I just want to consum the power at when I need.

Thank you for reading my question.
