Well my thread's purpose was two fold. I was curious about the "unusually" (to me) high amount of open/running processes, again, no apps running nor clients logged in, and whether it contributes to the rapid battery drain.

I posted the Droid's battery usage monitor as it kinda confirmed what was "its" battery hog (screen/brightness). Problem with the 900 is that even when its "idle" (i.e. I can actually get myself to put it down and walk away) it still won't last 24hours.
