Well of course running any other launcher rather than the one pre-defined as default will burn more battery because you're indeed running a 3rd party application as your launcher. Although, I've always ran LP or Zeam and they never kill battery as you might expect...
If I've helped you in anyway don't forget to THANK ME

I use Zeam also, it seems to treat my battery life well. And the dock fits 6 items!

I'm not sure how you can say it definitly uses more battery.... when I check my battery stats, LP is never a culprit of drain. Try it, see if you notice a difference.

Agreed, LP never shows in battery stats and there's absolutely no logical reason to assume a 3rd party launcher would use more than TWlauncher.
Phone - Vibrant with CM7 Nightly
Tablet - TF101 with ARHD 2.1.0

I've got 7 dock icons, at one time on mine, one of my fav features. Zeam is a very nice and simple launcher.

I can agree with this too. Eventually when You get rooted, you can actually make it so Twiz Launcher isn't running in the background and only LP if you decide to go that route. I've noticed no excessive battery drain related to LP.
