Is using a third party launcher save battery?

[Horr1bleK1tten]

^ so is it? Seeing as the sensation doesn't have the standard 1 gb of ram and can barely handle htc sense. Would it be better just to use other launchers? I bought 3 tsf sbp and phoenix launcher. I got adw but that's too much customization. So any help would be appreciated.

I am on the Droid Charge, and my phone seems to get equal or better battery on ADW Launcher. It's not a big difference, and honestly, I haven't fully tested the battery on my current ROM without ADW.
I tried Go Launcher, but it drained my battery twice as fast. I'm one of the few people I've seen that has this problem, though.

EDIT: Tried Zeam out today. I'm getting better battery than with ADW, but there aren't nearly as many options for customization. I really like it, though. It's smooth, no FCs (so far), and the default theme looks good.
