These are far too trivial to be fixed before the official release - if the
screensavers aren't panic'ing the kernel, they're not changing now.

Are you running compiz?   I've noticed several of the Really Slick screensavers
run very very slowly when compiz is active, and at great speed when it's
disabled.

We're far too late for adding new features now.
