Bug#582770: same problem here. Big number of wakeups.

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: hamster-applet
Version: 2.30.1-1
Severity: normal

Please incress timout for poll system call to at least few seconds,
and even better at least 30 seconds (first calculating what is the next
possible event in future if needed).

It makes currently more than 120 calls to it per second.
No other program in system does so.
