I had a look at top and "/usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --high-priority" seems to be running constantly, at around 0.2 (when idle) to approx. 32.2% cpu (when making a call).

CPU usage when making a call is valid. I meant pulseaudio constantly taking approx. 2-5% CPU time when device is completely idle, even with screen off. Oh, found it: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6868
 

Trying to killall tongend gives response:
killall: tongend: no process killed.

This is right, as the /usr/bin/tongend process ID is the same after the kill command as before it.

As Michel pointed - there was a typo, I should say 'tonegend'.

I've used it and I don't find it too useful, unless I do nothing for that time.

It helps finding which usage patterns are the most battery-hungry and gives indication of some dodgy background action (like tonegend above) eating battery when device is supposedly "idle". But that's only my personal preference, I guess.

All in all, I definitely concur that one of N900's worst gripes is power management (or lack of thereof) and getting out without a charger at hand for more than 1 day should be considered a crime. ;)
