I think I've discovered the reason, when WiFi was enabled it was causing 
a lot of waking in the "Android OS" and "Android System" processes, i.e. 
it was awake about 75% of the time, but strangely only for the first 6 
hours after a re-charge, and the waking was making it eat battery at 
about 3x the rate compared to when WiFi was off.

With my last three phones (N4, N5 and N5x) I've had the setting "Keep 
WiFi on during sleep" set to "on", I can't remember why I wanted it, 
perhaps related to K9 push email, it might have eaten a little more 
battery, but enough to live with.

Anyway I've now turned that setting from "on" to "only when charging" 
and the excess battery drain has gone.

I'll probably exclude K9 from battery optimisation, as it now seems to 
not push emails when it's sitting idle on the desk, and then notices the 
backlog when I pick it up, which feels the wrong way round to me, I'd 
rather pick it up in response to it telling me I've got an email!
