Using the netmeter app it shows kernel vs. app cpu utilization.
When you're kernel's at 3% and your apps are at 90% and you can't
switch to another task using taskswitcher, I would say that there's
stuff actively running in the background. Basic user interface stuff
is affected (like scrolling) at that point. The back of the phone gets
pretty hot as well. Only a reboot resolves it.

I would know more if I had a process list command (like ps) and I
could manage it if I had a kill command.

All in all it's just the annoyance of a reboot that is the biggest
thing, but it sure makes me curious about what is actually going on.

Back on subject, one app I would like is a pandora client and
bluetooth headphone support.

I would also like a larger capacity battery along with better power
management so it doesn't die as fast.
