I use Dimmer 1.19, which was originally an unsupported Apple non-product.
It's nice, in that it addresses apple video cards directly to dim the
screen, rather than fiddling around with either the color table or
vidoe memory, like other screensavers do.  Thus the screen never has to
be redrawn, and, obviously, it doesn't steal processor power to make
pretty pictures.
 
I've also tried, and had good luck with Flex, a shareware "moire"-type
screensaver which is very simple, doesn't take a lot of memory or processor
time.  It's available from both the BMUG and BCS-Mac shareware libraries, to
the best of my knowledge.  I`d guess that Dimmer is still probably buried
somewhere on the developer ROMs.
