Hi all :)

How much %CPU does the Seti@home screensaver need (approximately)?

Should I keep it disabled/blank to improve Seti computation or its CPU 
occupation is negligible?

Thanks.

Yes disable it, the screensaver slows a unit down by between 15 and
20%! It is not just the fact that the screensaver is running, it is
also the fact that the cpu has to tell the graphics card what to run
and when, etc. All that takes away from processing units.
