When I reset the 8900, or when it reboots itself due to browser overload, as still happens, it starts up Live Search on its own. So Live Search has been running in the background quite a bit. I don't know if it does anything with GPS when I'm not actively using it, but it might. When I discovered this, a couple of days ago, I made sure that after a reset I would manually exit Live Search. Since doing this, I'm getting much more respectable battery life, without any changes in usage patterns.

Is there a way to keep Live Search from loading on startup?

Is Live Search a pre-installed program? What is it exactly?
