After applying the change below, offered by Samsung support and posted by Tarnlight (from a post by dapheel), my battery run time on 2.3.6 now seems to be about what it was on 2.3.4.
1. Settings
2. Wireless and Network
3. Wifi Settings
4. Click Menu Button (next to Home Button) and Select Advanced
5. Select Wi-Fi sleep policy
6. Change it from "Never" to either "Never when plugged in" or "When Screen turns off".
I chose "When Screen Turns Off".
Since this worked, I decided to allow 2.3.6 to be pushed to my wife's identical phone, after which I applied the same work around to her phone. After several days of testing, both phones now seem to have normal run time (2-3 days when used only occasionally). Even with moderate use, well over a 24 hour day's operation is attainable.
I still don't like the blue fog added in 2.3.6, especially in the browser, that occurs at the screen edge limits. There is really no need for this, in spite of Samsung having to dump the Apple challenged bounce effect. It occurs even on the mobile versions of web sites where there is no data behond the edges anyway.
