Hildon-desktop and Hildon-status-menu also using some CPU, when i terminate them, they reopen and continue using CPU.
The Xorg process is the X server that is responsible for rendering everything you see on your N900. Killing it is ... not good.

And, the column that you marked is "Total time spent in the CPU" which, for Xorg, should be high compared to the rest. If the hildon processes spend lots of time in the CPU, my guess would be that you're using widgets/applets/whatnots that want to update their graphics and thus generate time in the CPU.

Have a look at the documentation for htop and learn that the columns actually mean. This will help you in the future.
