Let me get this straight: the main screen shows the amount of CPU time that each app has used since startup.

So would it make sense that the app I'm running that's used more CPU time than any other one is "Battery Left." That's showing almost 10 minutes, versus the #2 app with less than 5 minutes, "Messaging."

Is that what that means?
Yep, CPU time indicates how much time an app has spent using the equivalent of 100% of the CPU. So for example if an app ran for 4 minutes at 50% CPU, it would accumulate 2 minutes of "CPU time". We're also showing the time the app was started (both as actual time and as a difference from the current time). The "average consumption" value is simply CPU time / time since start.

How long has BatteryLeft been running? I actually happened to see the following thread while paging through the list to find this one:

problems with battery widget

If BatteryLeft has only been running for a short time (e.g., < 24 hours), I'd recommend disabling it and/or contacting the developer until the problem can be resolved.
