I just checked the total supply current taken by a '2106 flashing a
single LED on my board. The board was supplied with 5.1 V from four
NiMH cells.

At 60 MHz the current was about 56 mA, at 10 MHz the current was about
23 mA (I commented out the PLL initialisation). The LED was taking
about 2.4 mA (I measured the voltage across the resistor with a
scope). I've also got a MAX3232 on my board.

That should give you a rough idea of what to expect from a
representative system.
