Both the gnome screensaver, and xsccreensaver, seem to consume a

Also, the xscreensaver seemed to lock up every time I'd access it's
configuration panel, so I've temporarily disabled it. (I was forced to
used Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to get away from the xscreensaver dialog.) I
installed xscreensaver following these instructions:

How do I restrict the screensaver so that it doesn't turn my machine
into an obnoxious white-noise source?
Go through each of the offered screensavers & find _one_ that you like
and that doesn't eat your ram & cpu. Select that _one_ and use it until
you're tired of it. As you go through and test each one you'll find the
ones that are too intense for your machine.
