However, in theory, bad fonts with high memory requirements could have an impact. However, the memory requirement in the desktop clock should generally never exceed 10 MB, most other programs are far above this by a multiple factor.
The memory requirement of the desktop clock hardly changes deviations of 10% are possible during runtime. The desktop clock has been extensively tested and has been running on various Windows operating systems for years.
