Even though atlantis was "asleep" for 10,000 years, wouldn't the stardrive has slowed down, or would one to Janus' protocols stop this from happening when using only 1 ZPM?
EDIT: i'm assuming that the "ZPMs working in sequence" protocols are still working |

EDIT: i'm assuming that the "ZPMs working in sequence" protocols are still working I don't understand your question. Why would the stardrive slow down if it weren't in use?

to put it another way: would the star drive wear out like the Destiny?

The Destiny's FTL drive isn't based on the same type of technology, but is the one thing that isn't worn out... Atlantis' stardrive worked just fine when they actually had enough power to use it.
