In theory that would help, but Facebook appears to use all kinds of "clever" (dirty) tricks to stay running to slurp all that beautiful metadata up. I've had "background updates" disabled every since the option became available in iOS, and location updates only when i use the app, and yet somehow Facebook manages to stay running in the background for 3x longer than it's been on screen. We're talking 10 minutes on screen and 30-40 minutes of background activity. I realize some of it is notifications etc, which would trigger background activity, but that can hardly explain all of it. After watching Facebook eat 30% of my battery every day, i finally uninstalled it and use the mobile interface. Besides making by battery last a whole day longer between charges, it also has the added benefit of not receiving notifications, meaning less stuff to disturb me.
