This is on the laptop so it isn't DSL. Fresh build of conky 1.5.1. Note the jwm at .75% in the conky shot is my own no-frills version; the default Vector version ran between 1% and 1.2%. My conky $color is yellowgreen (to match my current jwm theme which is "cool green" -- flat, no gradient, etc.).

Why waste CPU cycles and RAM with all that? You get the same "picture" of things with load average.

You Should Know

Conky is generally very good on resources. That said, the more you try to make Conky do, the more resources it is going to consume.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

Conky is generally very good on resources. However, certain objects in Conky are harder on resources then others. In particular, the $tail, $top, $font, and $graph objects are quite costly in comparison to the rest of Conky.

If you do use them, please do not complain about memory or CPU usage, unless you think something's seriously wrong (mem leak, etc.).

@lucky13: i dont have any high CPU and mem usage, its all the same as with torsmo. while probably CPU will be used way more when more graphs have to be drawn, but i only got 1 ;)
