I don't think that putting the monitor into "sleep" mode would sap resources, but some high-rez screen savers can.

I'm not using any screensavers (Windows is set to 'never'). The only thing that happens is that after 15 minutes of inactivity
1) VDU
and
2) the disks are switched off

on the 'other' stuff that I used to run
I've mostly run Netscape when emplode crashed. Could interrupts (USB vs ISDN-support) be causing emplode to crash?
