Comment:

 I've released a new version of my Clock activity
 (http://wiki.laptop.org/images/1/15/Clock-4.xo) where I inactivate the
 clock when Sugar does not give it the focus. Though it still consume too
 much memory in my opinion, now the CPU usage drops to 0.3% when iddle.
 I've launched 7 instances of the Clock without Sugar slowing down like
 with version 3.

 I've started a major rewrite of the code to be more efficient in the
 painting of the ClockFace widget, and I hope use less memory. But this
 will be for next release.
