Who uses ATI Tubes v1.1 screen saver?

Hello.

Who here uses ATI Tubes (Tubes SMARTSHADER ScreenSaver v1.1) screen
saver in Windows (I use XP Pro. SP2)? URL to downlaod it:
http://www.ati.com/developer/screensavers.html

If you do use it or want to try to reproduce my issue, do you get slow
downs/choppy speed after a few hours (say 4-5 hours)? I am just
wondering. I noticed this screen saver was designed for old RADEON 8500
cards. I assume it is fine for 9800 Pro AIW cards. Mine gets choppy
after a few hours which is weird. I never had that problem before.

I tried both CATALYST v5.1 and v5.2 drivers. I don't remember this
problem before them.

Thank you in advance.

I doubt it. I already disabled Cool'n'Quiet in CMOS because it was making
my system unstable (crashes Windows). Is there something else I miss?
