yes, applets that display that kind of information tend to have regular update 
periods. and depending on whether they are polling or event based and how 
often they refresh they can be quite the active little monsters. there's 
really only so much that can be done about it since the point of having a 
meter showing the temperature is to know what temperature the cpu is and 
since the cpu changes temperature over time .......
