I have a dual-booted laptop, where windows gives a good 3.5 hours on battery, while on Ubuntu 12.10 my laptops runs only for 2 hours.

I heard about powertop and laptop-tools, but after installing them I cant see the icons and the improvement in performance is little.

Does anyone have any advice?

also how can i see and close unwanted background applications(when i use the command 'ps aux' i see a hell lot of thing running down the terminal)
