ICS Battery usage. Better or worse?

I just opened another post with similar issue. Much worse than before, I use to have a full day of work without charging, and since ICS I had to recharge at work. It's only one day of use, and it is really bad...

I downloaded and installed 4.0.3 from Samsung two days ago. It is death on batteries. Gingerbread was bad, but ICS is much, much worse. I think the d2 has some design/power architecture problems since mine is only a few months old and has had its innards replaced once because the original was using up two fully charged batteries in 2 hours total. My guess is that's why we are seeing the S3 press, because Samsung has no idea how to fix the S2s.
