Hello,
I am thinking about a function in Power Management that will enable you to kill most energy processes/programs. What a mean is to show in Power Management window 3 or 4 programs/processes that are most energy and what obvious uses energy from netbook/notebook battery. If you don't use these programs you can simply kill it and your battery life time would last more.
What do you think?

OS
This isn't going to really be any different from "sort by CPU usage" which already exists.

Yes but for layman's it would be much easier and cleaner to manage energy and battery life time.

This starts to look like memory derangementers or similar softwere for m$

However, an utility for cleaning memory and/or cpu would be nice. Especially under power management plasmoid. When I'm running OS with a long uptime, I'm starting to notce many proccesses that I either don;t know what $%^& they are, either why they are not closed yet? Like many kio's, when no app is running/no transfers is being done.

Detecting such ghosts is not an easy task, but for advanced users could be optional. Also integration in DrKongi would help devs to find bugs more easily.

To detect ghosts: looking for process start date and being idle time, e.g. kios are not the ones who is designed to be running for days at idle, parent is closed; app is running idle for a long time; some apps with same names - might be a wrong setup? etc. A white list local/global whould be nice too :)
