Battery Life After Official Froyo OTA Update on 8/2

I was wondering if anybody else was seeing unbelievably bad battery life following the official Froyo update last night, 8/2. I was surprised I didn't already see a thread near the top for this already, perhaps everybody overslept due to their phone dying and their alarm not going off? Or perhaps I'm alone in this. Now I know that this phone has not been the best battery-wise anyway, but last night before I went to sleep around midnight EST I put a new battery in and within minutes it was already down to 88%. Somewhere around 4 AM or so I was woken up by the vibrations of the phone shutting down. I was quite confused as I usually only lose somewhere between 4 - 7 percent or thereabouts overnight. I shook my head in wonderment and threw a new battery in which read an initial charge of 88%. As of this writing I'm now at 22% and under the 'About Phone\Battery' page I'm showing 'Up Time' and 'Awake Time' having identical values of 4:25:00 and under 'Battery Use' I'm seeing 'Cell Standby' = 50%, 'Phone Idle' = 41%, 'Android System' = 7% and 'Display' = 2%. Information on my setup is minimal, I've not done any rooting yet, I was up to date otherwise with official releases. So...is anybody else seeing this kind of behavior and if so any suggestions on what can be done to fix it? Thanks!
