Bug Description
Binary package hint: rss-glx
These screensavers use all available processor cycles. This is undesirable from a power consumption and heat standpoint. This behavior can be changed by using both the --maxfps and --nice arguments.

Happened to my gutsy (tribe 3) install on several screensavers after updating this morning. No problems previously. Xorg seems to be burning the CPU cycles at the same too.
Suspect it's nothing to do with the default screensaver settings.
