Something else comes to mind. I recall measuring these some monitors and
seeing CPU consumption affective. The REFRESH RATE may also force some
sorting, XMS and other stuff to occur on every 20 seconds. Measure the
delta changes on CPU TIME when you adjust the refresh rates. CPU
consumption will should down within the address space with longer
refresh rates

I once had an anally retentive manager who complained about the CPU
consumption of our monitor. In order to appease him
We change the refresh rate on the monitor from 5 sec to 30 sec. No
observable difference in performance at any level was observed. After
the experiment was concluded, we returned the monitor refresh rate to 5
sec.

HTH,
