The default one does it for me, at least in virtualbox VMs. Although I usually don't notice it for weeks, because I leave only one such VM running unles I am doing something fairly unusual, and on a quad core CPU, having just one core wasting its time screensaving a VM doesn't really make any noticeable difference to normal desktop usage at all -- then much much later, I run something that really taxes the CPU and can use multiple threads, run top or htop, and there it is :) Setting the xscreensaver default to blank screen seems like a good solution, being (hopefully) straightforward to implement, and yet reducing the unwanted CPU load very substantially.
