Re: Weird issue: Screen savers HAMMERING the CPU

Hi Thomas, In order to find out why the screensavers are so slow I would suggest running a system-wide profiler (like sysprof as root) while the slow screensaver is running. you'll be able to find the spot where all the cpu-cycles are wasted this way. - Clemens Am So., 22. Mai 2022 um 23:12

I've upgraded my distro from F33 to F34, F35, and now F36. Zero issues all the way through except for one weird one. I run Xfce, and I installed the xscreensaver* packages. I've always done this, and I uninstalled the xfce4-screensaver package. I like the plain old xscreensaver packages.
