Description Ritesh Raj Sarraf 2009-11-01 11:50:20 UTC 
Version:           2.2.0 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-trunk-686

amarok is just started (nothing playing/paused) and remains idle in the system tray. But still consumes a lot of power (which imo it shouldn't)

  40.8% (269.2)    nspluginviewer : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup)
  15.0% ( 98.6)            amarok : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup)
  10.8% ( 71.4)     <kernel core> : hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer)
   9.1% ( 60.2)       <interrupt> : uhci_hcd:usb2, yenta, radeon@pci:0000:01:00.0, eth0

   0.1% (  0.9)              kwin : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup)

Take other apps here, many just as apps like amarok.  But consuming a lot lot less power. Even things like plasma-desktop and kwin are low on power.
