Apple have kept Time Machine preferences to the minimum and changing the backup frequency from hourly is not possible. Having said that, yours should not be running the TM backup 'almost continually'. Have you checked, perhaps using Activity Monitor application that it's not something else that's running instead? If you keep the TM preferences window open whilst your working you will be able to see when it is actually performing a backup then you will be sure.
