wifi power setting: difference between best performance & best battery?

In the wifi setup in wm 6.5 (and others) there's a "Power" tab with a slider. "Best Battery" is on one side and "Best Performance" is on the other. What exactly does this setting adjust? Is it just the broadcast power level of the radio, or or other settings adjusted?
Thanks
I hope some one Answer ... ...
I wonder that too.
Battery consumption. Best Perf means max battery and so on.
On Best Battery, it will drop the power of the WiFi transmission until it starts to loose a few packets then bump it back up a fraction. The odd resent packet is the price you pay for a longer battery life.
Best Performance will run it at full power. No lost packets, but at the expense of the battery.
Thanks!

[Q] Wifi issue

I seam to loose all internet access as soon as I have my battery under 33%, it still connects to the network but I only get timeout connections. Is there a low battery setting that I am missing that limits the wi-fi power?
^try to remove power saving, as far as I remember, I used mine with15% battery left, no problems

Has anyone enabled "cellular data always active" in developer options?

If so, have you noticed any decrease in battery life? Saw a couple of articles highlighting this feature back in May, but there hasn't been any follow up to the feature's effect on battery life. Thanks in advance.
I have it enabled and can't say that I see any remarkable decrease in battery at all. I'm not really sure of the benefit if any either though.

Supposedly, the phone doesn't have to re-establish a cellular data connection, so you're less likely to have hangups when switching from wifi to cellular. I also have "aggressive wi-fi to cellular handover" enabled so the phone doesn't hold onto my wi-fi connection when it gets weak.
Did anyone test the battery life ? how is the battery life once you enable this option?

Poor standby time.

Hey guys, I am having some problems with my battery on cm13, it's good when I am using the phone but standby time is just horrible, in 15mins i lose about 3-4%. Does anyone else have this problem,and do you know how to fix it?
First try and update to the newest cm13 nightly
Also look at battery in setting menu and see what uses your battery the most
Also turning off features such as wifi Bluetooth nfc and data connection and turn off wifi and Bluetooth scanning and location except when you need them
If you have a weak 4g cellular signal you may
Need to switch to 3g in network settings some custom kernels have atrocious battery life also sorry to throw a book at you but the all that apply to you
Turn off sync also helps a lot
Turn on efficiency or power saving in battery settings also helps
Then turn on simulate color space monochrome in developer options
Turn off ok Google also
Also turn off usb debugging when your not using it

WiFi calling

Does having WiFi calling enabled drain the battery? I've enabled it and it seems like a good feature I'm just curious in people's experience what effect it has if any to battery life
