Let me preface this by stating I am NOT an electrical engineer by any means.... but I use a cab called battery monitor which will show charging rate, discharge rate, temp, etc. You can check the battery's discharge rate and obviously the lower the number the less the battery drain. It reads milliamps (mA) to gauge the charge/discharge rate and on Mr. X's 6.5 2.5 ROM I have regularly had discharge rates of 23mA. Other ROM's I've been on have all been higher than that, while running the same apps.
Now keep in mind, most custom ROM's have been built by removing much of the original carriers bloatware and also have mods/tweaks installed to increase battery life, and as we all use different apps at diff times, and cell reception plays a large roll in the battery life too, so everyones mileage will vary. I can just say that for what I use the phone for, and in my geographical area i.e. cell towers, Mr. X's 6.5 2.5 has by far been the best battery life for me. I'm not gonna tell you that I get 3 full days with heavy heavy use and constant bluetooth on and listen to music all day and stream videos, etc, but I can tell you that with normal use, i.e. e-mail every 30 min, texts, phone, websurfing, etc, I can get a good day out of the phone without question.
