I checked the CPU usage in Android 6 it is about 30-40% lower. This is way better, but this alone can't be the cause for the huge difference in battery life...if this is true.
Has anyone used the Nexus5 with Android 5.1 before switching to SFOS and can confirm that there is such a huge difference?
I think the UX works with GPU acceleration, too. If you run AIDA64 and select the GPU tab and move through applications/scroll around, the GPU usage ramps up to anywhere from 20% to 60% on my device.

I can confirm the huge difference. I used my N5 on Copperhead, which was 5.1.1 Lollipop, and it lasted literally 3-4 days without Google Play services.
