Update: I watched this distracting behavior for a while, and it seems
that it is not actually repainting the screen because some of the
background, lowlighted chains do not appear to be changing, but the
foreground highlighted chains blink almost in sequence, as if they
were being individually redrawn in the order of generation, or in
order from back to front, or something like that.
I changed to a different screensaver - this was really annoying....
I would still LOVE to know what was causing this.
