Curious, what is the difference in terms of CPU consumption when a function is performed via widget, gadget vs. a standalone application? For example, weather monitoring and to-do lists.

There is no simple answer to your question. It depends on the skill of the programmer as to which specific applications will use the least system resources.

The only way to tell is to perform some benchmark testing with the specific applications you wish to compare.

Thanks for the reply.

I was thinking that many of functions of standalone programs could be done with one or the other tiny app. The bottleneck would be CPU consumption.
