I for one had my battery drain 50% overnight last night and I can only think it was because I left the web browser open on this very forum. The N900 was even in offline mode!
Any device that has the users doing the quality control will have this problem, its another reason Apple keep their store closed up tight, so they can fully test an application before putting it live. Its the price for freedom.
But all the more so its very much appreciated that you report your own experiences with battery drain, so that everyone knows which bits of software may be problematic. I have said before that I usually keep the web browser closed when not in use as it does seem to be a battery hog even in the background.

One known power drain bug using catorise et al. - use conky and check what hildon-desktop is doing. Note that the issue is not with catorise - it simply triggers a hildon-desktop bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10412

it also helps to install auto-disconnect and not have auto-rotation enabled in the phone app. i am currently on the third day having made these changes a few days back and i normally used to run out between 36-48 hours...havent had a chance to test this over a few charge/discharge cycles but seems to have improved a fair amount...

a restart fixed the problem.
that happens quite a lot, that the cpu load goes up for no (obvious) reason and stays like that. if i didnt have the coumem-applet or the systeminfowidget installed, i wouldnt even notice and wonder why my battery drains so fast.

I just ran the killall command and mine has settled to below 1% too... Quite annoying that it gets stuck high :/
