It hasn't made any concievable difference to battery life on my n900 (and it shouldnt). sshd wont wake the cpu out of idle very often at all (unless it recieves a connection).

But, because you wanted to know, install gainroot then type:
Code:
sudo gainroot
rm /etc/init.d/ssh
exit
Reinstall openssh-server to restore the initscript you just deleted.

Instead of breaking your openssh-server startup, heres a better idea: temporarily stop openssh so u can see how much extra battery time you get (there wont be a difference):
Code:
sudo gainroot
/etc/init.d/ssh stop
exit
Hope that helps
