Power Consumption of Programs

Hey, ive been having a bit of trouble with power consumption and sure i can remove programs...do a bit of testing and messing around and find what the culprit is...but is there an easier way? For instance when i was in the S60 world we had an application for developers called Nokia Energy Profiler, you could run it and see how much energy your phone is using stock, and then run your application and watch how much that in specific was using...it was an AWESOME application. Is there anything like that for windows mobile? Or is there a way to develop such an application? here is the link for energy profiler so you can see about it. http://www.forum.nokia.com/Tools_Doc...ergy_Profiler/

I've done this in a way through a task manager (looking at CPU usage) and a power meter. I used to have horrible battery life until I used these programs to see what was taking up the battery.
