I cannot determine which column is the CPU usage in the new batch command. I have output, but don't see anything that resembles a % of 100. below are the results of the sort after running, it does not look like the batch ends itself, I had to ctrl+c to end the loop. 0 1000 8708 6464 30 10

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 174191 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174191 The bug is that the screensavers use way too many resources and send the CPU usage to 100%. And if the end user does not monitor his system CPU then the screensavers prevent copy commands and other such
