There's a rather good freeware screen saver written by Gianpaolo Bottin
called GPhotoShow. It's just a slide show with transitions and provides a
*lot* of free CPU time in between the pictures -- I run it along with
Prime95 on this computer (450 pII) and there is no noticeable slowdown in
either program on any priority setting. This could suffice unless a person
wanted a GIMPS display integrated into the screen saver, though I'm not sure
at all what there would be to display. Just throwing this out to the list.
