no, we actually think it's funny that the clock takes that much horsepower. 
call it a reverse easter egg, if you will.

;)

seriously though ... the 30% is with the patch which makes it update 20 times 
per second; right now it updates once per second, and the painting is not at 
all optimized for performance either.

things will improve, but now is really not the time to worry too much about 
optimizations such as these... as long as we keep the framework open enough 
that we can work on these issues we'll be fine when the time comes to work on 
optimizations.
