Well, the official has problems (some serious not letting the phone to go to sleep in some cases). You are running a ROM based on Sprint's memory free settings, these run faster cause they force the phone to have more free memory for Sense to do its thing better (less keyboard lag, faster opening). My biggest pet peeve was fixed (double tap menu to unlock without menu popping up afterwards). Having said all of this, I'm running a ROM based on what you have now. I was running an overclocked ROM based on this leak and I liked it. A setting got stuck though (not the leaks fault, it was the ROM) and I had to nandroid backup and never felt like flashing it back. So, not a whole lot of benefits superficially.
The removed item is the app that could be causing the problem with the awake time issue. GSD.apk (which may or may not be on your ROM as well) is notorious with causing poor battery life.
