The gtalkservice also controls gmail's push mail feature and access to the android market (also the market's notifications for when there are updates). If this is deleted, you will lose all of those functions. There is also a talkprovider.apk, but I don't know that does.

I have disable google talk by unchecking auto sign in. The service features do not drain the battery (I too thought it did, only google talk, when signed in). I have opted to note delete any of them because my battery life is great, so I don't know what happens if you just delete talk.apk.

I would do a nandroid backup if you decide to do it, because a factory reset after deleting an app from the system will not bring the app back.
hahaha to late i reflashed again to get them back but thanks for the explanation,
