Previously I was using SipDroid but I switched to CSipSimple because I read it had better sound - it does seem a bit better. But since I installed it, the battery has been running down almost twice as fast. It doesn't show up in settings->battery, but it's the only change I made to my phone. When I used SipDroid, the phone while idling (i.e. sitting on my desk) would lose about 0.8% per hour. So in 6 hours, it would lose 4-5%. With CSipSimple, it loses 9% in 6 hours. That's a HUGE difference. Are there any solutions for this? Any settings in CSipSimple to help with battery usage?

I'm on Wifi.

* With SipDroid: 0.8%

* With CSipSimple: 1.5%
 
Find the CSipSimple support forum. The dev is very nice and very responsive. He has a N4 now too so he should be on top of this if there is a problem.
