I've had that problem before and I don't remember how I fixed it.
You can try gap_x which will specify how far it is in pixels from the border, but that may just make it bounce around farther away.
I don't remember if Conky is sensitive to white space, but you can try making one of the other lines (that is not the size changing one) long enough (with extra spaces) that it won't matter how much the one line changes.  So you get:

line 1
line 2
line x (with lots and lots and lots of white space)
longest possible display of cpu-utilization
etc.

You also may be able to have it chunk the name of the process to x number of characters, though I'm not sure how to do this either.
Hope this helps.

Stephen, the problem with using top_right  is that I have a line to
display to memory-largest process and the highest-cpu-utilizing process.
When the name of these processes change, the entire conky panel moves a
little to accommodate.  Any ideas how to fix it?
