I wonder if this is a mixed blessing. Phone definitely feels faster. Smoother operation all around. Even the "battery pull" reboot times are much shorter than under GB.

I wonder though if this is all at the expense of the battery. I haven't seen it as a category, but is CPU usage measured in battery statistics? I know everyone sees the display chewing up a larger percentage of the battery after ICS, but I wonder if that might be because everything else runs more efficiently under better processor use. More use of both cores would mean more CPU power consumption and likely more heat.
