Virtually none, or it actually makes it worse depending on how often you have things using the internet in the background.
Push email - will never go idle, so no disconnect
Periodic checks, NET LOSS since the startup time to re-connect data is longer, and much more power draw, and now happens every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
If you only use your data once or twice a day, you might save 1-2% battery in 12 hours. Maybe.
The other issue is caused by advanced config (blows some setting, it's putting a GSM-specific value in) - reg fix is in every "survival guide" I've seen, including the sticky here in this forum.
Bottom line, don't bother. But +1 for the find.
