Root Android System using battery lately??

This has just seemed to start over the past couple of days...

Now I have to preface my complaint with the fact that my phone has been unplugged for over 2 days now and i still have 30% battery left...so its not exactly like its a huge "drain" on the battery...but i just never remember it hitting the top of my list of battery usage before...

This was a screen grab from March 10 which to me looked fairly normal...

This was from just a few minutes ago...

i just think its odd that android system would use so much more battery lately...

Now, when i click on Android System it tells me this...

CPU Total: 26m 40s
CPU Foreground: 1m 19s
Data sent: 618.81KB
Data Received: 1.47MB

now, when we are talking about the fact that my phone has been on for over 50hrs i realize that ~27m worth of CPU activity and a few MB worth of data transfer are not all that bad in the grand scheme of things...but when i consider that i've used 70% of my battery in that time, and a 1/4 of that (almost 20%) was used up in 27m worth of CPU usage it just bugs me...

like i said im getting what i consider great battery life (light usage of course)...but it could be even BETTER if Android System wasn't using 20% more battery than it was 10 days ago...
