Thanks guys! There was that nagging thought in the back of mind that maybe I was overlooking a possible way to get even better battery life and greater performance. I was considering trying to set the CPU policy to conservative to see if that gave better battery life without hindering performance, or simply using powersave when doing things like reading fbreader books for a couple of hours. However, It sounds like what I'm doing is pretty good, and since I'm getting good battery life right now, I will probably just continue with my current system. Thanks Again!
