ok, fire up gkrellm.
watch "cpu"
every 5 seconds I get a complete cpu spike to the top of the meter.
when pc goes into screensaver mode, every 5 seconds, xscreensaver halts
for 1 second, then continues.

I am on a Dell C840 laptop, PIII700, 384RAM, 40GB, nvidia graphics (from
FC3T3 not nvidia)...nothing special as far as testing, this is stock
FC3T3.

Thanks.
