Very little likelihood that's going to help. The problem is that sometimes it's not picking up the fact that WIFI is turned off so it thinks it can sync and gets caught in a loop that uses battery. If wifi is on it should automatically sync your position if you close a book or go to the homescreen IIRC, but it shouldn't launch that if wifi is off. I think under some as yet undetermined circumstances it is trying to do this sync when shouldn't/can't and gets stuck in a loop and burns battery power (even with wifi turned off). I don't think it's even trying to search for an available wifi network or turn wifi on in these cases.
