I think it's probably because of the weight of the file - also, I just decided today to move the file to device storage instead of SD card storage, because I think when you specify wallpaper, it doesn't actually copy the file to the device, but just goes and gets it from the location you specified, meaning it has to work harder each time to go get it off the card; just a theory, but if I'm right, that will reduce battery consumption as well.
Next thing I did today was remove the Clock widget from my home screen. Although I didn't see any CPU useage from it, it's possible that it's one of the things causing Gsam to show battery drain from screen while the screen is off.
I don't know exactly why it changed; all I know is what I see in Gsam - and it shows that the wallpaper I was using was eating battery while the screen was off. When I changed to the stock wallpaper, battery improved dramatically. I didn't change anything else until just now.
Here's what I see now - look at "Discharge while off"
Before I made the change two days ago, I was seeing the opposite - in other words, I saw like 12% with screen on and 18% with screen OFF. Now I see 15% with screen ON and only 6% with screen OFF. That's a huge difference; enough to kill battery quicker than now.
