Eeek, why?

We have a signal which updates the stats when they change. Why would we 
want to get the stats every few seconds? Makes more sense to just update 
the ones that changed and only request the stats once.

We can probably optimize things a bit here in the daemon too, but it 
sounds like the applet is really inefficient here.
