A mere CPU info applet that displays static info doesn't need timer events but 
if it displays stuff like CPU temperature or (especially) CPU load then timer 
events will be required to keep the information up-to-date.

That includes stuff like network activity applets, CPU load applets (or any 
sort really) or any other type of applet that has information it needs to 
update in real-time or near real-time.
