As the article states, Network settings and Computer settings. For example, I have a number of different DNS server settings in Network settings from which I can choose beyond the default; they'd all be left behind if I don't import settings. Computer settings can be things like leaving the Firewall turned off.
At the same time, it may not be your settings which caused the problem; the fresh install doesn't yet have all your software back in place either. I've read that the Chrome browser tends to run a lot of processes visible in Activity Monitor while other browsers don't. If you're using Chrome, the problem could lie there rather than with your settings. I've avoided Chrome so I don't have direct experience with it.
