Have you set it for frequent POP or other network access?
You don't have XCPUScaler on, do you?
Network left on?

Also, don't overlook the small little factor that you're playing with everything non-stop since it's a new toy. Has your usage shot up a wee bit?
Actually the only setting I changed to save battery life in PR5 was time sync. I never unchecked the beam setting or lowered the brightness. Everything is set exactly how it was with all previous versions but I do notice a significant power drain in this one compared to the others. Apparantly I'm not the only one experiencing this either. I haven't played with the ROM any more than I have the other versions. There's something else going on in the ROM causing the battery drain and it's not the obvious.
