I've had web sites with some kind of CPU intensive flash ads suck my
batteries down. Burning CDs, compressing Audio and other CPU intensive
processing will also shorten battery life quite a bit. If you don't need
the screen then be sure it's dimmed all the way down which turns off the
backlighting. I've hit 5-6 hours on a battery with the screen off and
low CPU applications like text editing for taking notes at conferences.

Indeed, but if settings are set to to off or nill then I'm lead to
believe that a battery should last about 3.5-4 hours, of course it
will last longer if energy saving features are turned on, brightness
reduced etc.

Battery life estimation is not an exact science. It's quite common
for battery times to go up and down a bit depending on exactly what
your computer is doing internally at any given moment, and this is not
at all exclusive to macs.
