I think it depends what they are. Those that dynamically update, such as
weather plasmoids, probably do. Those that are fairly static, like the
picture frame, probably eat very little. You may have to run a monitor
plasmoid (personally I still like to have gkrellm running) while you do some
tests. I notice that whenever I check top I see X and kwin as the top two
contenders, though individually they don't seem too bad. I should state,
though, that this laptop is 4.5 years old, so it's not too surprising that
it's sometimes working hard.
