I didn't really follow this lately, but in the past Google and FB implemented their own optimizations to reduce the verbosity of the XMPP which always affected the battery badly:

Plus there is this XEP: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0273.html
Which defines a way to control what to filter:

A mobile client might want to receive messages but not presence notifications, since the latter are quite "chatty" and can run down the battery.
So, I wonder how any of this caught up in servers and clients (Telepathy)? All this was out for quite some time already.
