Conky and high CPU usage

I originally posted this in the Newbie Corner, as I consider myself a newbie, but got no answers there and I think my issue is pretty kernel-HW-related, excuse me for re-posting.

I was editing an old peaceful Conky and it somewhen started making high use of the CPU (around 30-40% avg.). As I couldn't figure out where the problem was, took out every configuration line in the conky file and ended up with the few following lines, which are by themselves triggering the same high CPU usage. I don't have much experience with Conky, could anyone explain me if this behaviour would be expected from this simple code or is there something else?

Thank you.
