So far Windogs screesavers aren't but a pain when compared to the ones I see in Linux, to me. I don't hate CPU-time consuming screensavers, just I use "blank" if anything has keep running or simply when actuall I'm not here... But I *like* things like hyper or bouboule or simply laser... And mystique flames, forest... Or drawings recalling some nice theory... or just performing interesting mathematics. It's just a nice place to show those things, instead of looking (where and why) for a peculiar package... when maybe I didn't know before of that theory... No, definitely my *thanks* to people implementing those stimulating graphics. By the way, I will upgrade from xlockmore-3.11 via ftp to see if that "rotor" mode has been fixed from being that slow.
