BirdieWatcher.exe = batterydrain?

Hi all,
My first message on this board appearantly has to be a dualfaced one. First of all, I really like BirdieSync as at home I work with Thunderbird and Sunbird, whilst at work I synchronize with Outlook. BirdieSync is great for me as I don't need to replace any of my existing applications.
However, there appears to be some possible bad news too. I only recently installed BirdieSync on my Palm Treo 500V (WM6 Std Smartphone), and since then I started noticing that my battery ran out like crazy. So I checked the running tasks, which were empty (as I tend to close applications from time to time). However, when switching to processes view in the task manager, I noticed BirdieWatcher.exe.
I seriously suspect that this is causing my battery drain (battery runs out 3 times as fast than before). I will try without BirdieWatcher for some time to see if there really is such a big difference.
In the mean time, has anyone noticed this as well? I can't find anything on Google related to the watcher app and batteries....
