Post which apps (daemons) you have running in the background and if you have push/fetch enabled or any other app running in the background thats pulling info over cellular/wifi.

I'm using sysinfoplus to get the readings. After confirming with sbsettings that there's no apps like mail or ipod running in the background i lock my phone for 20 minutes. Then i hit the home button and start up sysinfoplus.

I have only sbsettings installed, push/fetch off, no other programs/daemons running in the background.

1 min: 0.07
5 min: 0.02
15 min: 0.01

I uninstalled Notifier, weathericon, and swirlymms (didnt work) because they all seemed to be using a bit of CPU even when the phone was locked which was causing my battery to drain faster than i'd like.

I'd like to get an idea on what everyone else is getting to see if i could lower my CPU usage even more for better battery life.
