Battery Drain not significantly worse for me

Thanks Jeff for a very good ROM.

I have not experienced the battery drain probs others have. I would say this though, when usage is high, the battery does get hit hard. I went through today put in a fresh standart (1350Ma) battery at 7:00AM and now it is 7:45PM and I am showing 80% battery. Admittedly it is a light day for me, about 5 emails on my Exchange account via active sync, about 40 Gmail POP3 mails polled manually 4x today, maybe 8 calls totaling 15 mins, a few games of bubble breaker and solitaire (30 mins), 30 mins of PIE browsing and several instances of cleaning my duplicates and memory hogging apps with Memmaid.

I am running the O2 2.3 app - main memory; Agile Messenger - storage card; Memmaid - extended rom; voice command - extended rom; GmobileSync - storage card; Batti - main memory; Apache Rom Unlocker - main memory.

Perhaps keeping all the apps out of the RAM and running memmaid while shutting down all active applications does it for me.

I run my ActiveSync push 24 hours a day and as long as it is not a 50 email day, the battery seems fine. If I have a day with over an hour of phone calls, it really hammers the battery as well. I have two standard batteries and two extended 2400 batteries but it seems unnecessary..
