I think this is a great idea! Some of the code may already be there. Gnome has this power manager which can show the battery usage quite nicely in a graph - may be adoptable. The benefit of this would be that the user can decide if (s)he wants the feature X or not. Not just to locate programs that use a lot of juice - but to sort out programs to not leave running on background while on battery just because you can - for example...
