Reduce CPU usage in screensaver?

2009-09-24 Thread Gabriel Zachmann
I wrote a screen saver that basically zooms images at a frame rate of 10 frames/sec. When running, it uses about 60% CPU ! This could be a bit annoying sometimes, if there are other compute intensive processes running, such as video conversions. Is there anything I could do to reduce the CP
