You could run s@h without running its screen saver. Better still would be
to run the much faster CLI version. For your 'screen saver', just select
"Blank Screen" screen saver (no CPU wasting) which should support
password protection.

Thanks for the tip re the CLI version.  I will check this out.

It is an oft-repeated myth that the CLI version is faster. If you don't
ever let the GUI version display its fancy but virtually meaningless
animated graphics, there is no significant difference in the rate at which
the two versions process work units.

If you're using s@h "classic", find the 'blank screen' option in there.
Then set s@h to 'always run' and from the desktop screen properties,
select the "blank" screen saver from there also.

Under this configuration, the one I used to use when I ran Windows, I
positively confirmed comparable performance between the GUI and CLI
versions.
