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 :(

    I've recently noticed my bubble screen saver doing the same speeding up issue.  It is a very random occurence though.  I've seen it do it in a few minutes or take up to 30 minutes.  Just spitballing here, because I really do not have a clue to the inner workings of the operating system, but I have Clearwire for my internet... could it be someone hacking into the system? Or frequency issues, as at least one person has said their bubbles slow down and stop.  From what I read here it seems to be random for everyone.  Just trying to contribute.

    Thanks,

    Scott

    It has been a year since the last post but I have had this "problem."  I didn't use a screen saver very much in the past and recently started using "bubbles" and noticed the same phenom.  I haven't found a decent answer yet - anybody?

    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...
