For future reference (and for the benefit of anybody who lands here by
searching)...

"adb shell top" will tell you what's using up CPU.  In most cases this
will identify the (over-)active app.

"adb logcat -v time" will show the debug log, with timestamps.  In
many cases it will identify *why* things are active, e.g. scoreboard
getting swatted constantly.

"adb bugreport" dumps about a megabyte of stuff, with logs from
various components.  If you are seeing a lot of activity in
system_server but don't see anything telling in the logs, and only a
little activity in "top", then something may be quietly driving system
server to distraction.  If you skip down to "BINDER TRANSACTION LOG"
you can see the most recent chatter, identified by process ID.  If
something is appearing very frequently, it may be the culprit.

You can map the processes to apps with "ps" or by looking in the
PROCESSES section.

I used the above to identify edu.mit.locale as a source of difficulty
on somebody's device yesterday.
