I havent no. But it would make sense since you're playing a game within a game.

Can't say that I have. I haven't really used my exploits to play PSP games on the Vita.
It would make sense, however, to lose a little bit of battery life, as running the Emu is taxing the system in some way or another just running itself, in addition to running the game as well. Maybe. I dunno. I don't know how much of the eCFW stays active and in RAM or how crazy the processor goes while running the games and all that happy-crappy.
But from what I hear, the Vita is SEVERELY underclocked in the PSPEmu, so I'm not sure if that would actually be the case.
Ya never know.

Acid_Snake? TN? Either of you wanna chime in?

I haven't experienced anything like this (I think) but it's a no doubt that eCFW drains a lot of battery. Mainly because you are running the exploit (which is activated by the exploit game) and inside the exploit, you run emulators, PSP games etc which doubles the draining.

i get more battery life in ecfw than playing vita games.

here are a few tips to increase your ecfw battery time:

-disable the wireless and 3g if you are not using them.
-underclock the emulators to 220 mhz if they do work fine. 330 mhz will drain more battery.
-dim the screen
-do not keep the volume too high (that is also healthy for your ears)

these are what i do, and they definitely help

I don't think eCFW itself drains that much battery, but depending on the game you play it may drain more battery than others (even vita games), and if the game is in cso format then you have that need for extra processing to be done, which sucks in even more battery. My guess is if you have enough space, play uncompressed isos instead of csos.

Thanks guys for your "enlightenment" regarding this topic :D ,anyway I forgot to mention the games that I used for the comparison are Soul Sacrifice & God Eater 2 (eFCW). [all settings were the same eg: brightness, wifi off etc]

Battery life is pretty fair to me. All I mostly play for extended periods of time is djmax 2 or pspr though.
