I use the HTC Home program with Mighty ROM 3.9 and my task manager shows 27% at boot up. You're not gonna get much better than that. Very light on resources. I get a full day on a battery easy. My phone has been off the charger now for just under 14 hours and I have 43% battery left. This is with lots of texting, some internet, and prob 4 phone calls today...that said, I would def recommend getting a second battery. They are cheap enough and certainly useful.
