Have anyone noticed a decrease in battery life after applying the firmware upgrade?

Made me think when I heard that the fans come on more if that will impact battery life? Right now I start with just over 4 hours (not bad really) battery time when fully loaded and I realistically get maybe 3.5 hours when surfing with Wifi and have 3 above lowest screen setting.

Not just Safari, but mail and Thoth etc.

Any indications about battery time?

Want to make sure I dont jump into this without knowing more first...

Thanks

Peter
