Just read an interesting post about how screen updates of any kind cause small power usage vs. an idle screen:

I'm sure Link Monitor Applet causes a bit more power usage due to waking up the NIC. It'd be nice for laptops and netbooks to be able to Pause any application that does screen updates and/or wakes up hardware in order to save a bit power.

Thanks for the great applet!
