For me the led matrix widgets should not distract during normal work, but just add peripheral extra information. As contrast, especially changes in contrast, and thus particulary movement, catches focus, I believe it is valuable to limit movement/changes -- as long as user's focus is not specifically needed.
I would thus suggest to add a hysteresis especially to the CPU widget (but maybe also to others as e.g. RAM) to filter out short and small spikes/changes.
Maybe changes could also use dimming to delay and smooth out a change.
It might be interesting to additionally add warning borders/limits to let loose the hysteresis and maybe even add a flashing aspect, once it is reached (e.g. 90% CPU usage).
