since upgrading to the official WM 6.1 ROM my battery life isn't as good as it was before the upgrade, is this a known issue or is there anything i can do about it?

This worked for me: Start>Settings>System>Task Manager>Button>Change the default to "End programs by tapping "X"'

This setting will prevent programs from running in the background. My battery life is much better with this setting.

You might also consider using a program such as SmallMenu, Magic Button, WisBar,etc. Not only do they let you completely close out of a program, they will list all programs running. Magic Button is free, SmallMenu has a free version and a paid version (w/ more features...about 8 bucks), WisBar is $14.95, I think, w/ a trial period.
