Who said ICS is lighter?
It depends on the phone. If the phone has a good hardware and a good baterry, ICS will be lighter. For my phone, Jelly Bean is a little heavy.

Have you actually seen similar reports from others users on the web? Other forums, etc...?

Nope, why?

Opera is faster with Android 4.0.4. But this is relative, if you have a powerful Android phone with android 4.1 or higher, it must be fast too.

It can also (obviously) depend on your internet connection too, whether it's wifi, 4g, 3g, edge, 2g or gprs.
Which has also been known to affect battery life, depending on signal strength and or distance from access point etc. -

Because then we can conclude that you're the only one with the perception of Sony Xperia S's Jelly Bean being heavier than ICS, otherwise you'd have seen other reports to back your claim. So either only you have an issue with your phone settings, or physical battery capacity, or you're actually feeling some kind of placebo...Opera is faster with Android 4.0.4.
Whaaa no! Since I updated my EVO 3D from stock 4.0.3 to Android 4.4.2 (CyanogenMod) Opera runs smoother (except since the version 21 which is lagging when switching tabs). -

You put pure version of Android, I was talking about stock Android 4.0 and stock Android 4.1. And it is a little laggy since 21.

Well, yes, but the reason why it's smoother is probably Project Butter (4.1+). It should affect OEM ROMs too, or not?

It should but Samsung and Sony, modify so much that becomes a little heavy. I remember the difference between Xperia X10 stock 2.3 and Cyanogenmod 7. my old phone.

If I could put pure android on my phone it would be great, once I tried but the was not stable enough.

Afaik, Sony don't modify/add things that much.
Actually Sony adds its own UI, apps and some features like Bravia and xLoud. Samsung adds a lot of things, features, etc

Cell standby 9%, 1:04:32
Phone idle 7%, 1:00:27
Android OS 4%, 0:13

Not playing games or videos, just browsing forums, googling things. Tvtropes and wikipedia mostly.

I use Opera most of the time. If I have 50% screen brightness (less being impossible to use outdoors where I spend my time) for 5 hours, I read on Opera for 90-95% of this time.

It can also depend on signal strength via wifi or 3/4g, and whether your phone has to use extra (battery) power to boost it if you are in a weak signal area or happen to be moving around a lot, thus causing the signal strength to fluctuate.

No matter what else I do, I think Opera taking from 15-20% average is too much. Especially when I only read (mostly) text webpages, having flash disabled (not installed).
