Much improved standby time with 4.2

Anyone else notice this?

The other day, my phone was on 1 day 18 hours (42 hours) and had only gone down to 67%. Granted I don't use my phone a lot. Screen time was about 20 mins, I streamed some Pandora for about an hour, and spent an hour in a no-signal area (used to use a ton of battery on my Triumph when there was no signal). Other than that, I mainly use it to keep up with email and texts.

Ordinarily I get about 1 1/2 days between charges, at which point it is around 30ish percent. Since the latest upgrade though, it has been doing much better than that. Anyone notice a similar change?

I'm sure screen-on time is no different, so if you use your phone a lot, maybe it hasn't made any difference. But I'm pretty impressed. And it's reduced my desire for the N4 a little... ;)
 
It's definitely better... This is with about 25 mins of screen on time:
