I was just playing around with my GF's Optimus Slider, partly because im a phone addict but also she's been complaining about the battery life. Well I may have just figured out what her issue is ... the default governor on her phone is set to Performance.
performance
Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times.
To put it in a way anyone can understand, this is like driving your car as fast as it can possibly go at all times. You'd get places faster, but would get terrible mileage, gas mileage in this case being battery.
I'm switching her phone to ondemand which should provide significant battery savings in comparison.
