Bug Description

system monitor has excessive cpu usage when on the resources tab. the graph seems to be too cpu intense, uses about 0-10% on my c2d. on the processes tab it gets even worse, up to 50% cpu usage when you scroll really fast up and down. something is not right here and needs some serious tweaking.
