I have found that the "logo" screen saver on my P75 box running 3.2-RELEASE
causes the network I/O to slow down to a horribly clunky crawl...

Has anyone observed a similar correlation?  I changed net cards (NE2000 to
Etherlink III) and it had no obvious effect.

When the screen saver is not active, my throughput on a quiet 10BaseT net
is between 750 and 1000 kb/s .  When the screen saver is active, I get
about 20 kb/s if I'm lucky, it is very bursty as well.

Besides avoiding this saver, is there anything else someone can suggest?
