Do I need desktopcouch-se service? It seems that it is eating my thinkpad computing resources. Please see below that powertop confirms this. "Ubuntu with no-effects" is running on my thinkpad. Please also take a look at the output of powertop and let me know if there are any unnecessary services are running.
Desktopcouch is part of Ubuntu One. If you want to stop that uncheck it in startup applications. And the problem you have is a bug so please login/register at launchpad and add yourself to the 'Does this bug affect you?'. That way it'll get more attention!
Turning it off will probably also take care of ubuntuone-syncd
