Help Thunderbolt & WidgetLocker - do they play nice or major battery drain?

Just downloaded WidgetLocker for my Thunderbolt. But I'm noticing a faster battery drain than before and I'm trying to rule out WidgetLocker being the culprit. I also recently enabled LauncherPro Twitter and Facebook stream widgets. So one of these three items is zapping my juice. Any experience or opinions?
 
WL is fine for me. Have been using it since the day I purchased my TB and have not noticed any drain. I would say it's one of the LP widgets. I was using Minimal RSS for a few days and couldn't figure out where my battery was going. Removed and it was back to normal. Those widgets look sick, but they come at a cost
 
Since I installed Widget Locker, I'm having wonky 4G reception too. Again I'm not 100% that it's WidgetLocker to blame. But it started to happen the same day I installed it.

No offense, but that's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. It could be one of many things, a lock screen replacement causing it, not so much.

Honestly, This statement just made me laugh out loud. I see no creditable way for a application like this to mess with your 4G connectivity.

Edit: Looks like Worm agreed with me.
