On my side, the "update interval" is correct, the graph respects the
scale on the lowest bar.

But about CPU usage, I've got the same behaviour.
Before launching Gnome-System-Monitor, X uses less than 1% of CPU.

When I run gnome-system-monitor, X and g-s-m are using each 8 to 12% of CPU. So 
the CPU overhead is between 15 and 23%.
Switch the "update interval" to 15'' decreases the CPU usage to 1 - 2% for the 
each, but the graph is dramaticaly slowed down.
When I go to the "Process" tab, the CPU usage grows fast to above 50% after 
reverting back to 10% of CPU. It is the same when I launch gnome-system-monitor.
This is very annoying if you want to kill a process that already consumes to 
much CPU !

I also use the system monitor applet, and is showing the same graphs
(and even more) and it is using less than 1% of CPU.

All CPU usage are for the all CPU capacity of my i5-750. That means 100%
of CPU usage shows that all 4 cores are used at 100%.
