So I benchmarked using Battery Monitor using my rom first and then his. The results are as follows:
JonRom 1.9:
standby: 13mA
idle screen bright: 75mA
idle dimmed 57mA
during call: 374-440mA
ATR TF3d2 V2:
standby: 13mA
idle screen bright: 84mA
idle dimmed: 57mA
during call: 341-440mA
As you can see, results are almost identical. TaylorSPJ, let me know if there's something I need to do to enable your battery saving hacks. I flashed your rom as directed and these are the results I got. Unless I hear otherwise, I conclude that there's nothing in this rom with regard to battery life that hasn't already been implemented in mine and other roms.
edit: I'm trying real world testing by running tethered through bluetooth, making calls, etc. So far the battery indicator has stayed at 90%. I can't tell yet whether it's just not updating quickly or if it's really going down that slowly. Will post further results later.
edit2: Unfortunately, it looks like for one, the battery indictator is set to 10% increments, and for two, it is set to a very infrequent poll rate. The indicator finally went down to 80% after about 20 minutes, but then I soft reset and it went down to 60% immediately. This is after only about 45 minutes of heavy use (from 100% to 60%).
edit3: Now down to 20% after 15 more minutes of heavy use. Again, it stayed at 60% until I restarted.

I'm gonna test this rom soon to see if the battery is as awesome as what has been said.
Is there a way to get the battery to update every 1% instead of 10% increments without using the nuePower driver?
Also, will using the nuePower driver change battery performance?
