Hi, just wondering if anyone knew of any screen savers that are also easy on the CPU?



Under light normal use, the fan is often off on my TiBook. Further, I tend to lock the screen when I'm away from my desk. When I return, the fan is on and the machine is very hot as a result of the screen saver.



This is with Tiger 10.4.2 on a 550MHz TiBook. I've tried all the default screen savers and they all do the same, even with the extra options like zooming, panning, etc. turned off.



I guess what I want is a screen saver that is also a CPU saver. Any suggestions?

    I use no screen saver but energy saver to turn the monitor off.

    I want the screen saver because it provides a lock on the computer. I've since found it, by the way... http://www.eagle7.org/



    Screen saver that takes up zero CPU. Combine that with energy saver, I get both lock and energy savings This should be available by default...
