Comment:

 Hello hallcp, thanks for reporting this. I was able to confirm that
 wp_update_themes and wp_update_plugins is being called on every page load
 (in fact multiple times) however looking at those 2 functions they should
 only make the request if something has changed or it has been 1 hour or 12
 hours since last check depending on the current filter. Looking around
 line 207 and 372 is where that happens.

 The functions are called 2 times each on each load with the following
 current_filter

 Every Page function / current_filter
 wp_update_plugins: false
 wp_update_themes: false
 wp_update_plugins: admin_menu_bar
 wp_update_themes: admin_menu_bar

 Themes page function / current_filter
 wp_update_plugins: false
 wp_update_themes: false
 wp_update_themes: load-themes.php
 wp_update_plugins: admin_menu_bar
 wp_update_themes: admin_menu_bar

 Plugins page function / current_filter
 wp_update_plugins: false
 wp_update_themes: false
 wp_update_plugins: load-plugins.php
 wp_update_plugins: admin_menu_bar
 wp_update_themes: admin_menu_bar

 While all these except the additional calls on themes.php and plugins.php
 fall under default in the switch with 12 hour as $timeout.

 Can you confirm this still happens for you with the default theme and no
 plugins active?
