I couldn't tell you, not any one thing obviously, but I get the UAC prompts
all the time. I do change the display settings quite a lot and that brings
up the prompt.

Those count too, here's where UAC could make a big improvement by having an
always trust setting for an application. (run elevated doesn't always
work)
For now I turn UAC off after an initial round of testing each build. (I
haven't installed 5365 yet)

What administrator tasks do you perform commonly? Are you instead
referring to poorly written applications that don't work when you are not
an administrator? That is handled differently from actual administrator
actions. I am curious, if so, which bad apps do you run? If you mean
administrator tasks, which are you performing commonly?

They're far to common now, but I expect things will get better.
