REALLY?????
Then I will keep it around till the full version.
Was disappointed when I found out I couldn’t try out any of the other dreams from the gallery other than the 3 it comes with.

The .dreams such as the grass are video based, so they will use more CPU. Dynamic .dreams such as the cube should have very low usage.

As far as games goes, when you play a game or full screen an app, DeskScapes stops so it does not affect performance.

Thanks for explaining Spencer!

I played with it last night right after they announced it. I have a Quad6600 overclocked to 3.0 and it was still using up a noticeable amount of CPU on my core monitor while using the waving grass dream. Up to 15% on all cores, while normally the computer runs at 1% at idle without dreams. I really want to use Dreams, but FPS in games is a little more important. Also, I am running dual monitors, but that isn’t supposed to affect performance much.
