Degradded batter life w/ LPP?

For the 1st few days I had my phone, I was running bone stock. A handful of widgets, but nada else really. I was completely satisfied w/ my batter life; it was very comparable to my Eris. I had Live WP, BT, WiFi enabled & 4g disabled (don't live in a 4g area). I used my phone for a few calls per day (10-40 mins on avg), 75+ txt messages, synch mail @ default interval, some modest surfing, a few mins of Angry Birds (maybe). 14hrs off life support would take me down to ~20% battery left. I was totally satisfied w/ that. If I left it in Stand-by overnight off the hook it would lose ~15-25%.

Then I finally broke down and purchased LauncherPro +...Customized the heck outta it (left my OLD Home screen set up and all widgets active...clock, news, calendar, etc...). This thing would go from 100% to 20% in a matter of hours. I went from 100% last night to 7% on stand-by. That's insane. To be fair, using LPP I had Beautiful Widgets, SimiClock, CalWidget, Live WP all running also. I don't know if having my Default Sense UI and it's widgets still available as an option when I pressed the Home button has something to do w/ this, but to be safe, I removed all widgets from there and I didn't see a noticeable improvement.

So my question is, has anyone else seen LPP drain your battery like that? Could it be one of the other widgets I ended up installing as well?

I'm open to troubleshooting ideas cuz I really dig the way you can customize using LPP, Beautiful Widgets, CalWidget etc...
