Conky takes forever to load while in PekWM Harbour (dock) [SOLVED]

Hey guys, I recently put Conky in my Harbour in PekWM (the PekWM equivalent of a dock), and its taking around 10 minutes to load each time, some times more.

Here's my .conkyrc:

##############################################
#  Settings

That's all I can think of posting to give you an idea on how to fix it.  I'll post more if requested.

EDIT: Solved, the problem was due to the fact that my internet connection was saturated, bringing the upload speed down to 0.21 megabit, and I was using commands in conky that depended on the network.

tried double buffer and a different xft font?

Yes, I have.

EDIT: It just popped up.  Might have been related to the fact that my network was saturated a short while ago.
