That is normal. Even on my rooted fascinate it is 65%. The system battery log does not give a very detailed picture of actual battery use. To get a better feel for the apps and processes using your battery try SystemPannel to track app battery use.

Also, there is a good thread in the Fascinate forums talking about how to extend battery life.

Finally, Go launcher uses very little battery. I find it actually uses less battery than stock Touchwiz.

Since it has a Super AMOLED screen, ensure you have a dark (a lot of black if possible) wallpaper. Lighter colors, especially white, will consume more power.
