I just upgraded to Tiger and took a look at all this. :o) Indeed the widgets 
stay in the activity monitor (ie their processes continue to exist), but they 
use 0% CPU when the dashboard is invisible (at least the ones I tried). And 
they are gone when you close the actual widgets.

To me the dashboard isn't the most useful feature of Tiger (the improved audio 
engine is, at least the combinable devices and I'll try to test if there are 
performance increases) but it doesn't worry me either; if I really would want 
to reclaim that last few percent of my 3.6GHz and 2GB, I just close all 
widgets and be done with it.

Maurits.
