The 0 minute setting, is to blank the screen immediately after the
screensaver begins. Half of the time the screensaver is running, is spent on
the graphics. Starting the program, then minimizing it, takes as long as
allowing it to run maximized. There is no way, yet, to initiate the program
automatically, except in screensaver mode. A 133MHz system should average
about 60 hours, to process a block (if set to run all the time, and blank
the screen immediately). My 233 takes an average of 35 hrs.
