If you are interested, the link to the site is http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm. I find this combination of the SecondToday and Homescreen Plus convenient and Homescreen reports CPU usage, battery status, and discharge rate, among other things, on one easily accessible screen.

Having more than one person watching for the same thing might reveal more. What I described could have been an anomoly, but I do not think so. As far as reporting to Sprint or HTC, I will explore that. But as kidmet said above, you would think that HTC would have someone reading these pages. It is free troubleshooting.
This is a shot in the dark, but I wonder if the CPU usage stays up after a long convo for something that cools the phone. I know people have had trouble with phones heating up. Hmmmm.... It's gotta be something running in the background that is needed. As an engineer in the defense industry, I know there are a lot of tests done before electronics are labeled as "complete" that measure exactly what you measure (CPU usage, battery usage, etc...).
