This may actually be a Compiz problem, because when the Braid screensaver kicks in, the machine doesn't quite crash fully, it just runs out of RAM and becomes terribly slow.

pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 and opening a terminal (or logging in remoely via SSH) shows compiz.real using all of my 1GB of RAM and all my swap, and it continues climbing.

Looks like a memory leak in Compiz to me
