For example, there's that popular one that shows your desktop, but with 
a distorting lense rolling over it. So 80% of the screen isn't changing, 
just the 20% of it under the lense...

Just one small example. I've seen lots of Linux screen savers which 
gradually draw stuff over the period of a minute or so. I guess that's 
not so bad, because *what* they draw is random, so it'll only ever be on 
the screen for a minute or two.
