I don't have Locale installed personally, so that's not the culprit. The only apps that I'm aware that they're running in background would be the following:
Alarm Clock Twidroid Hello AIM Missed Call These don't seem to be heavy resource hogs. My stock email client never checks for mail or notifies me even though I ask it to, so it's not likely running. I had the app "Process Explorer" installed before, but since it couldn't end processes and it didn't seem reliable I deleted it. A Task Manager would be most welcome.
