Hi Thomas,
In order to find out why the screensavers are so slow I would suggest running a system-wide profiler (like sysprof as root) while the slow screensaver is running.
you'll be able to find the spot where all the cpu-cycles are wasted this way.

I know, I am SUCH a geek for loving them, but I absolutely do!
It's so cool to walk into my office and have multiple screens running
crazy, intricate screensavers, I really enjoy it. I'm a nerd, what can I
