How long does your battery last when playing with FPse?

I am on a Droid X with 100% charged battery.
Playing Dragon Warrior VII it only lasts a little over 2 hours (I'll get the exact time another day)
However:
My phone is overclocked at 1300 MHz
It is also using HDMI out to my TV
It is also using bluetooth for my Wiimote and nunchuck.
So I guess those three things can make the battery deplete faster but is anyone else getting the same results as me?

FPse eats my battery too. I'm using a Droid 3 with an extended battery and I can get a good solid 2 hours of play out of the game. I assume its the processing power involved with the emulation.

My xperia play lasts me about 5 solid hours before im at a 1/4 battery. Note that I use energy conserving settings on my phone. Light is at its lowest, sound on half, and I use airplane mode so I dont try and find service and waste battery as well. Try those things to improve battery life. Those settings will also slightly boost your power. Just slightly though.

For me its like 3-4h of gameplay with the DesireHD (4.3" display) at ~50% brightness. I'm very happy with that i must say. This is an approximation because i think the longest time i've played was 2h. That took about half the battery so here we go.
+ I use the iControlPad as a controler that comes with a pretty big battery (1350mAh i think) that can charge your phone. So i always have some extra juice with me if I need it (never happened until now^^). I played a lot of TonyHawkProSkater2 and ResidentEvil2 the last few days its so good! Who needs a 3ds/psp?

I get about 5 hours on my Nexus with no special settings.
