I suppose, now that I am thinking about it, the network time sync option may have caused that in itself.
How about a way to network time sync on a leaner schedule, that would solve both issues! And I can say, it's not like the 6700 can't stay pretty close to true time - I tend to go in every couple days and do it manually - the time never changes from that so it can't be too bad of a clock.
Regardless it has made the difference (in sardinours 4 & 5 roms anyway) between having enough juice for the day, and not. I also was having some lockups when waking the device, as well it would wake up on it's own more often. Sure it would go back to sleep, but a few minutes here and there add up!

hmmmm, that may very well may be a possibility, i may not notice the hit because of all of the other things I do to save battery life. I have also never shut off network sync since ive had the phone, and I use web2mail, so my async is up 24 hours a day.
It would be interesting to see if my battery life is extended if i shut all my sync functions off.
I am still sticking firm to the "sleep" mode of AKU 3.5 ..... its freakin
UBER!
and since my phone is really only on when im making calls, and/or receiving a txt message, if it wants to sync up during that time, im pretty ok with it.
My battery lasts all day long, and w/out charging and daily use, can hit about halfway into the next day. I think that is incredible for the standard battery.

I know there is some battery life, monitering programs.... can anyone
confirm the hit on the battery that activesync eats up?
you actually have me really curious!!! Ive also never had the "random" wakeups that I used to on AKU 2.x
and it may very well be that you have "nothing to sync to" as mail2web syncs all my crap.... it may also be that when you setup a server to sync to, it ASKS you for a schedule of when to sync. I have mine set to "only when there is a change" so if im not updating my contacts/calander/email then it just sits idle.
If you go into the Activesync schedule, you can set the time to "Every 4 hours" that may also help if it is indeed async that is killing your precious battery life.
++++++++++++ (i like to ramble)
so anyways, if it is really a massive hit i would be very surprised, i would lean towards the settings, rather than the fact that its just open & running because the sleep mode is massively efficient. (unless its turning your phone on.... thats just.......creepy...... i would run for the hills screaming with jello all over my body if my phone did that).
keep me posted, and try setting your async to 4 hours and lemme know if that helps!
