Ok, searched for a method to kill that sucker. Ok so this is a highlight to more whys:

- what the hell is "metalayer-crawler". None of the threads explain it adequately.

- why is it being a pain in OS2008? Why would something as stupid to drain your battery faster (and in some cases cause sd card probs) be added in OS800?!

- Why can't it be turned off in a simple method other than using cli? An average user wouldn't know how to do that. Gen. Ant says "find what is cause it" ... uh sure, how? most users don't know how. Is there a built in process viewer not cli?
