 On my Debian unstable system (athlon 2600), xfce4-panel eats a

 within approximately 10 seconds, the following functions are called:
 
  grep -c ioctl strace.log
 142
  grep -c gettime strace.log
 267
  grep -c poll strace.log
 141

Following up on this bug, could you try powertop (available in debian
unstable for i386) and see if xfce4-panel is waking up too much?
Currently clock plugins wake up every second even if seconds aren't
displayed, this should be fixed in current svn, for next releases.

 I've just checked, and I can't spot the CPU usage anymore on the
 same system, still running xfce4 and the clock in the panel is
 active.  The only things eating CPU time at a constant rate ar
 xfce4-terminal (1.5 % or so) which could be due to the top process
 running in it, top itself, and some other processes.
 
 The xfce4-panel is currently taking up 0% cpu time with the clock
 running.  If I change it to include seconds, it takes up about 0.3%
 cpu time.
 
 Below I'm including my current list of installed xfce4 packages.
 Kernel is 2.6.18-3-k7:
 
 ii  linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7  2.6.18-8   Linux 2.6.18 image on AMD K7
 
 Kind regards,

Mhmh, maybe the bug was fixed between 4.3.90.1 and 4.3.99.2. This would
be nice :) Or maybe the bug was in a panel plugin. Do you remember if
you had the same configuration at that time?

If it was, or if you can't remember, I'll assume the bug is fixed. If
not, we'll reassign to the plugin package.

As far as I can recall the configuration was the same, the only thing
I've changed around was some of the launcher buttons in the panel.

 If it was, or if you can't remember, I'll assume the bug is fixed. If
 not, we'll reassign to the plugin package.

I think that's the way to go, for now at least.  If I ever notice it again
I'll file a new report after some more investigation.
