I'd hope not; I use the tty version of top so it is supposed to update only the 
window content not the window decoration. I had already disabled all thumbnail 
generation I could find when I did a previous hunt for kwin "hoggers". BTW, 
even with a top refresh interval of 10s kwin keeps showing up so indeed 
something else is going on.

My clock ("Digital Clock") is set not to show seconds and I'm not running any 
auto-updating widgets other than the battery monitor (on the desktop, not in a 
panel) and the telepathy thingy. I have a top and a bottom panel though, both 
of which can be covered by regular windows. But that's a feature that should be 
event-driving, iow not take up cycles when I'm idle.
