note to self....

To the X screen saver with a binary entitled 'starwars':

Quit hogging all my CPU cycles - freaking NINETY-NINE PRECENT (99%) of available processor capability is occupied running the screensaver. This is a Bad Thing™.

Note to self: Delete/Remove this bitchy little bit of software ASAP

... and CHECK for other X screen hacks that have the same predatory tedencies.
