> How much battery am I losing to this stuff?

Unless they coded something very stupidly, a listening socket that nobody connects to is not going to be on the CPU. It will be asleep waiting to be woken up by actual activity.

Not sure if any operating system would use that socket as a reason not to enter a low power state but I kind of doubt that.

In this particular case, I don't think we can exclude that possibliity.

In general of course I agree with you.
