Set your fps to 30 or 60 for general usage. At the 'max' setting the aquarium is using every cycle which it can find (hence the name 'max'). :^)

The application sniffs the running process list for the screen saver engine. When it finds that the screen saver is running, any module - ours or not, then it stops animating until it notices that the screen saver engine is no longer running. You still have two separate instances of the aquarium, but the application is more considerate so it doesn't affect the screen saver's render speed.
