Thanks for your help in resolving this problem. I believe the new 
code I just put out should get you down to an acceptable CPU 
utilization.

You can show the time distribution in func Draw as follows:

Func Draw()
local $msg = '', $Start, $Time
  $Start = TimerInit()
  CalcHand()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'CalcHand = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  $Start = TimerInit()
  DrawTime()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'DrawTime = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  $Start = TimerInit()
  DrawHour()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'DrawHour = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  $Start = TimerInit()
  DrawMin ()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'DrawMin = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  $Start = TimerInit()
  DrawSec ()
  $Time = TimerDiff($Start)
  $msg &= 'DrawSec = ' & $Time & @CrLf 
  msgbox(0,'', $msg)
EndFunc

Result for me:
 0.38
 47,0
 63,5
 83,8
103,9

CPU usage - 20%

Thus, functions Draw... are very raw and expansive!
