It sure is the stock ticker. It was set to slow speed, there are 6 stocks, update every 11 minutes, nothing else special. I even removed it from the panel and I see the same 5 second tick. It's especially noticeable in screensaver mode. The entire screen stops for a split second, then picks back up. Good call on the stock ticker, unfortunately it appears not to be the culprit. -- =Guy 17:34:25 up 21:11, 2 users, load average: 0.43, 1.07, 1.61
