Interesting. 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.
