This is, as far as I know, caused by the fact that AIS is uncompiled Python, which means that with AIS installed, hildon-status-menu's process includes within it the python interpreter and whatever ram+cpu that that takes up.
Hence it showing up higher in the list.
Same/similar applies to Advanced Clock Plugin (pushing the CPU usage to almost always 2%, also consuming battery), which was the reason for me to deinstall that. (I know: wrong thread )
But only with Advanced Interface Switcher it is still below 0.5-1 %, so no big problem.

Keep in mind that in all of these uncompiled Python applets:
Advanced Clock Plugin
Advanced Power
Advanced Interface Switcher
The actual CPU usage is less when you've got the screen covered and blank. Realistically, I have a VERY busy Advanced Clock Plugin style (my Monitor Clock, I mentioned it in that program's thread), and I have Advanced Interface Switcher, and while there might be some battery use decrease, I don't notice it that much. Especially when comparing idle times, the standby time with screen off and everything is effectively the same.
Also, I DO think that your results might have had to do with something being wrongly working, or it being a very CPU-intensive clockstyle. Because even right now, with my rather processor heavy clock style for Advanced Clock Plugin, and Advanced Interface Switcher, my status menu process is taking up 0.0 CPU.
6.2% RAM, yes, but 0.0% CPU. Which means even if it is doing a lot of processing, it's not even high enough to register as taking up a thousandth of the CPU's total processing.
I didn't want to ruin your theory, but compiled files (.pyc) are included in all my python packages )))
Yes, I believe you mentioned that. I do recall, however, shortly after your N900 sank somewhere, that I was using your SVN version from the garage - that only came with .py files if I recall correctly, and, upon copying the .py files from the svn directory to where they belonged, the updated version kicked in - however, the last-modified dates on the.pyc files never changed.
At any rate, even if I'm wrong, my point was still that while uncompiled python (even if AIS executes the compiled versions normally) takes up some RAM and CPU, it's not enough to account for the numbers that the person I was responding to reported.
I have a problem with this program, as I can't turn wifi off.
When I connect to network and use AIS to switch wifi off it only disconnects. Also if I am not connected, I won't let me switch it off

I connected the bt to my car bt and I try to push bt to deactive it but it doesn't do nothing. I try to mantaing the button to open the preference but it doesn't open the preference
