    It probably is a system hog, I'm not of fan of flash screen savers anyways, they just cause slow downs and hiccups for me.

    I use the default Windows XP logo screensaver.

    Screensavers today are a total waste. LCD panels cannot get burn-in, and if you're not around it's better to just power down the monitor. Screen savers are nothing but eye-candy.

    Oh I forgot things called screen savers even existed. I usually just close the lid of my laptop when I'm away so yea, screen savers are pretty useless to me.
