I have exactly the same results with my Pismo, usually 3 - 3.5 hours but
occasionally shorter. That's with 512MB and constant Airport usage,
screen brightness either at full or at 3 bars less, depending on whether
I'm inside or outside
.
Haven't noticed a difference with 10.2, but it's been on AC most of the
time since them, and as it wasn't an issue with me before, I wasn't really
paying attention. FWIW, when I have mine on battery, I'm outside actively
working on it, so any idling settings probably aren't coming into play.
