I had 3 execi commands in my conky set with intervals less than the
update-interval (10),
${execi 10 uname -r | head -c5}$machine
${execi 15 ip -o link show eth0 | sed -r 's/^.*link\/ether ([^ ]*) .*$/\1/'}
${execi 20 wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org | sed -e 's/[^[:digit:]\|.]//g'}changed them to execi 10, 15, 20 respectively. That seems to have helped somewhat. Now the conky freezes are less frequent and last for 5 minutes at the most. It still refreshes randomly though, (anything between 5-15 seconds.). Please ignore if my correlation is improbable codewise and stupid. It seems to have helped in my case so i thought i'd share.
