That would mean pulseaudio used more than 20% CPU on average during those activities, which seems very high. Maybe you're suffering from the tonegend bug discussed in the other sub-thread. I encountered that once and it did cause the battery to go down very quickly even though pulseaudio was only using around 3-5% CPU (but constantly). > I believe as-daemon is MfE, so it seems it's doing a lot of work to > get my e-mails.

That does sound more intensive than my IM accounts which probably only need to exchange some keepalive messages with the servers every now and then most of the time. At any rate at least some of those numbers seem to be much lower here compared to the uptime, which could explain the difference in battery life at least to some degree. > T-Mobile's signal is crap everywhere I go, perhaps that drains my > battery as well.
