Yes, there is activity. But it should not be "huge", althogh I cannot give numbers.
There is a location autodetection on startup which you may want to deactivate for stationary computers (see location panel). This is a small HTTP query. Several plugins (e.g. satellites, meteor showers) update their element lists usually on startup or in regular intervals. This is seen in the progress bars appearing at startup in the bottom-right corner. You can deactivate the auto-update in the respective plugin configuration dialogs, but note that esp. satellite elements become invalid within just a few weeks. If you are not interested in satellites, rather deactivate the plugin.
