Are Yahoo widgets processor intensive?

I'm interested in a Yahoo widget or two, but I'm concerned about the overhead on my cpu. Do they generally slow down your machine much, or not?

Yahoo widgets are incredibly intensive. I had to uninstall them, which was a pity, because they are really nice.





Why don't you see if Google Desktop as an equivalent plugin? Its much less intensive on your computer.
Reply:Widgets are mean little devils. They not only slow down your machine they will literally eat it. They love metal and plastic.
Reply:Yes, they slow down the computer a lot. If you want to have them, then go ahead, just don't get too crazy with them :P. If you have just a couple you should be fine, but they'll still slow down your computer.
