What packages you've installed on top of it?

This usually means that some process in the device is waking up
at about second interval (which doesn't really show up in top
unless it does also something else).

When the device is in offline mode with MMC out, if you run "top" in
XTerm, does anything else besides the top, xterm (maemo-launcher) and
Xomap show up using *any* CPU?

What if you disable all Home applets and close all applications
also (if you already haven't)?

Have you added multimedia (audio, video) files to the internal
memory card?
