Memory leak confirmed - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6442
You should take a look at the memory consumption too. hildon-home leaks memory when the widget is on. http://bit.ly/7fEDLn
this probably explains why the N900 complained of 'out of memory' this morning and required the battery to be replugged ;)
Thanks for your help Mikko I will look into this and upload a version with improvements as soon as possible.
-1 for bad power saving
After installing Systeminfowidget hildon-home process takes ~1 % CPU all the time even if the widget isn't visible (on another desktio, screen blanked etc). Even 1 % CPU usage causes battery to drain faster because it will keep CPU active (not in sleep mode)
You should monitor on-current-desktop property to pause updating when widget is not visible.
