Summary:
Playing audiobooks at 1.25x in iBooks on iOS takes a terrible drain on battery life, far worse than playing audio in Music.app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Play audiobook in background at 1.25x
2) Put iOS device display to sleep

Expected Results:
Expect battery life to last ~10 hours, as only local audio playback is taking place.

Actual Results:
Battery life is really bad.
