Given that on my box emacs is 25% of the memory footprint of GNOME's clock applet, I think the term "lean" applies. After all, a clock should be really lightweight, right?

I'd suggest you've got a memory leak with your version of clock-applet. Here's mine:

3438 jpl 15 0 21540 9964 8300 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.15 clock-applet

(although I'd agree that 21M is also a bit big for a clock!)
