Speaking just as a developer updating code for L-devices, the new scheduling interface almost guarantees an improvement depending on how many apps that sync in the background you have installed. The paradigm went from "wake up every 10 minutes, turn on the CPU, check for network, try to do stuff, if you fail, try again in 10 minutes, keep waking up the device" to "tell the device to do my stuff when next there is network and sufficient battery and the CPU is already on for the sake of running other tasks".
