Are you using a screen saver? It probably isn't saving your screen! But it is almost certainly the cause of the problem. All that processing power to move silly graphics around the screen of a monitor that is switched off! I don't know what wander is, but I'm willing to bet that it is a screensaver. And I'm also willing to bet that it is one that asks X to do an awful lot on its behalf. If you really want a screen saver....use one that just blanks the screen. No processing overhead and it might actually have some benefit to your monitor.
