Several of us have reported that we see the compiz.real process expand to fill available memory, which would lead to at the least the perception of a freeze. We can test this just using the preview window.

The relationship appears to be enabling compiz, so (not having looked at the code), do the screensavers behave differently, or is the graphics driver called different?
