Thanks for that article, very informative, but not necessarily conclusive. There are also a ton of comments that resonate with my concerns, about how random apps I haven't touched seem to constantly start themselves and run in the background doing who knows what - using CPU (battery), bandwidth, whatever.

At least one comment mentioned a significant battery life improvement after installing Advanced Task Killer and turning on its autokill feature, which I've been using a few months. I think I'll experiment a little and turn it off, and see if there's any noticeable difference in battery life.
