Bug Description

While System Load Monitor is loaded in the task bar unity-panel-service uses too much CPU. On one machine it uses 25-30%. On another it uses 5-7%. Upgrade to version 0.3 in PPA stable daily channel does not help. On the one machine where 25-30% CPU is used the problem is erratic, and not present directly after a reboot (when only 4-5% is used). The high CPU usage in excess of 25% seems to appear after many hours of uptime. When I quit System Load Monitor the CPU usage returns to an acceptable 0-1% on both machines.
