It most certainly can if it is doing any sort of operations or updating in the background to present an updated interface when the screen is refreshed/turned on even if the radio is not being used. CPU Operations == power consumption == battery drain. Run a bunch of mathematical operations in the bg all day and watch power consumption go up.

I'll say it again for those who are so devoted to 6.5 that they will make up all sorts of stories to try to get people to use a buggy OS...
The SOFTWARE does not use a voltage!!!!! the HARDWARE does!!!
It does not take any more power to run program A than it does to run program B.
The difference is in what the two softwares do and that is all about the settings!
TF3D only eats more battery if you have it checking for email every 5 mins and run push internet. Other than that it does not use any extra power or hardware functions. More Ram yes! But thats becuase it displays a hell of a lot more information than Titanium does! As for updating in the background well unless you have push internet and 5 min mail enabled there is nothing for TF3D to update when idle or suspended. No more than titanium does. Weather doesn't update when your not on that tab...SMS updates the same no matter what your running.
I have run probably 20 different flavors of 6.5 and Im never ONCE got more battery life...if anything I got less because I spent so much battery power resetting a crashed beta interface.
Now this is the point where some 6.5 fanboy says but it's the future you need to use it to be current!
to which I say stability is more important than keeping up with MS' release schedule!
