At this point it's not fair to evaluate the power consumption of YoWindow wallpaper.
It will become much resource hungry when we to add landscapes and sky animations.
I think in the end the wallpaper is going to be static by default.
Dynamic animations will be optional.
Thanks for the report!

1. LG GT540, 3" screen, 320x480 px, Android 2.3.7.
2. Samsung Galaxy Note, 5.3" screen, 800x1280 px, Android 4.0.4.
Results:
1. On a smaller phone, the YoWindow wallpaper has been running for almost 24h, and the battery has discharged from 100% to 40% only. Quite reasonable, I would say.
2. On a bigger phone, it's draining the battery way beyond "reasonable". Right now I have the phone charging from a laptop's USB slot and the battery level is decreasing. True, the USB port only gives 0.5A, while the standard charger for this phone gives 1.0A. But still, I managed to charge this phone from USB (slower, yes) - when I didn't have YoWindow wallpaper.
