Would have been helpful if ednlible told us.

I did some 2min research and found this site Here . This "mod" doesnt really change the settings for the speed but it does allow you to tweak some other stuff for the bubbles screensaver. Just have a mess with some of the settings and see how things go from there. Sorry if this sounds vague but its all i can think up of right now - better than nothing i guess. M$ really does need to fix this, theyve nothing for ages now :(

    Wiggle the mouse, wake the computer up, and the next time the screen saver should be okay.  It's just a display artifact.

    Exact same issue here as well...screensaver speed start off fine by then after some of sitting idle, the bubbles are rapidly flying around the screen and not moving fluidly like before.  MS really needs to fix this issue already, it's ridiculous that it still hasn't been resolved...

    If it really bothers you, use a different screensaver or set a power-down timer for your monitor.  Personally I think it's hilarious on the few occasions it happens on my laptop, and then a few minutes later the monitor shuts off and I don't worry about it any longer.
