CM9 isn't stellar with battery life, but my CM10 experience has been worse. For example, I usually start the day with an hour of checking e-mail, Facebook, Google+, Google Currents reading list, etc. With CM10, the battery would always be down to around 75% after one hour, give or take a few percentage points. With CM9, it would be done to around 85% (give or take). It was consistently like this over many daily repetitions. Same user apps in both cases, same CPU governor settings, same app sync settings, same Tasker jobs, etc.
Overall, CM10 would barely take me from 8 am to midnight with very light usage apart from the start of the morning. CM9 could go a full 24 hours or more (i.e., if I forget to plug in the Note before going to bed, it would still have 20% or so by the follow morning). The thing is, even with log files from Battery Monitor Widget, screenshots of top battery users, etc. there was no obvious culprit I could point to. The battery simply drained faster.
