Depends on what you're using the wifi for. On the iLiad, the wifi is only active when you're using it. It doesn't run constantly in the background and drain power. I assume they'd do something similar for the DR.

So, yes, if you're web surfing on it then it'll likely drain the battery faster. If you only use it occasionally, then it'll probably get disabled while you're reading documents, etc, which shouldn't have much impact on overall battery life.
