120% yes!

Speed is a big part of it . . . a really big part of it, it's also more storage (2GB rs-mmc versus two 32GB SDs ) and RAM, and a better screen. The OS2008 update introduces frequency scaling (between 165MHz and 400MHz), so battery life is more variable and dependent on how you use it. If it's a lot of very light use, your battery life will be a little better than OS2007, if it's a lot heavy use, it'll be a little worse.

For most users, though, it's a very small net gain in battery life.
