Using the motion effect, my iPhone 4S has been overheating and racing through battery today. Using istat2, i have found that disabling the motion effect in settings reduces CPU load from 55% to 8%! Also cools the phone way down.

Tested quite a few times.

Might be of help to those suffering from bad battery and overheating
 
i'm not having this issue on my 5 after 5 or so hours after installing.
 
This will probably be straightened out for final release, no way they leave the usage in its current state when they're moving toward power efficiency.
