6v to DC input jack seems to work fine?

To give you some sense, I have a board with the following load: 3 avrs, 1 pic, 1 1602 lcd, two hc132 oscillator (14Mhz + 70k), two hc04 oscillators (4Mhz + 12Mhz), 1 4-digit 7-segment led, 1 25Mhz oscillator, 1 14.7Mhz oscillator, one rgb led, 9 bright leds, 2 7-segment leds.

Powered from a 15v Verizon phone adapter, regulated down to 3.3v, the linear regulator (to220, no heatsink) is lukewarm. I think I measured my current consumption at one time and it was around 50ma.
