Is there a way to make the Beach or Forest screen saver a little nice(1)er? I like it, but it pulls WAY too much CPU on my poor little iMac.
Thanks,
Mike

renice(8) is there. I'll assume for the moment that it works.Originally posted by VGZ
Not unless renice support has been implemented by the update. Has anyone tested renice to see if the update provides functionality for that feature.
This really isn't about renice. It's about limiting the amount of CPU the screensaver uses (by any means).Originally posted by strobe
renice() doesn't work so stop trying.
Not to be rude but how does the amount of cpu time used by the screensaver affect the usability of the computer? You can't do anything while its running and it only uses cpu cycles when its running.Originally posted by Michael_Aos
Once again, is there any way to have the pretty screensaver and still have the machine be usable?
Actually, it's on a LAN with my Linux boxes & Windows 2000 boxes. I've installed X11 and do use it some remotely.Originally posted by VGZ
