High CPU usage equals battery drain?

Hi,

I have read that rask killers is not needed on froyo because it has its own.
Bit I am still wondering if tasks running in the background which actually uses alot of CPU is draining the battery? Example, when I run iMobsters, and then exit the app, the app will still run in the background and use CPU. According to Watchtower it uses up to 30% CPU. Won't this drain the battery? It will keep running for hours if I don't kill it.
 
I just read a post how you can look for this:

Dial *#*#4636#*#* > Battery history > Other usage > Partial wake usage
