Root Phone using a lot of power

Since I added CWM my phone is now going through power much more quickly than ever before it went from 92% down to 42% in just a little over two hours. I wasn't doing anything differant than what I usually do.

Are there settings in the performance control console that will help me to recapture some of the lost power? This was the last thing I did before noticing these changes. Loaded and enabled the Zippy rom but have not changed any settings with it yet.
 
Try using it until it is completly drained.... Recharge it to full without any disruption by pulling the plug out or turning it on... Then when full boot to cwm and clear dalvik and battery stats (if that options in there I can't remember) that usually does it for me if you're not doing anything different then your usual activities hope this helps?

That's very odd. Maybe its the zippy kernel..my phone battery is great (with cwm)
 
I've been using the zippy kernel and I had felt that the battery lasts a little longer for me somehow... maybe you have some programs that are taking up RAM and are running in the background? That's just my thinking.
 
I am also getting the same battery issues, Bart. I bragged to my girlfriend many times how " I'm still at 100% even two hours of taking it off the charger" UNTIL I went to zippy. Now don't get me wrong, I am digging the new kernel but I cant seem to find the correct setting to keep from using the battery within two hours of removing the charger without even using the phone. I am going through each setting , one per day, until I find the right one for me. Now, I don't mind any help with this if anyone has a good combo for "Performance Control".
Thanks
