CapacitiveSensing library power consumption?

Howdy,

Iʼm setting up a series of capacitive switches using Paul Badgers Capacitive Sensing Library.

They will all be running off of one board, and I was wondering if anyone had any insight into how much power each capacitive sensor will consume? If not a specific number, then any basic experiments I could design to get the number myself? Thanks!

Why? Microcontroller consumption is much more from sensor itself.
