I don't know if this has been discussed, but I am not getting the same battery performance (longevity) that i was getting prior to this upgrade.

I don't overclock. Is this specific to the rom???

Are you using Direct Push? That will kill your battery life.

no i am not using direct push, but i am getting my mail every 5 minutes.
I'm surprised everyone else is fine

Contrary to what logic might infer, using DP as opposed to scheduled syncing has improved my battery life. I suspect it's because there is less data actually transfered on a regular basis by the DP heartbeat as opposed to scheduled syncing.
