What about the OS?
I run my merom MBP with Bootcamp and find a significant difference in battery life between Vista (Ultimate) and Leopard. When booting into Vista, the battery life depletes much more quickly than with Leopard, and the machine runs a few, noticeable degrees hotter.
I try not to run Vista unless I'm sitting at a desk, with the machine plugged in, otherwise, it's not worth it.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why MS can't get a service pack out there to address Vista performance...
