No discussion of the 3D screensavers in NT is completely w/o recalling the Customer who called re: their server being slow. The technician we sent to look at it couldn't find any performance indicators amiss when he ran Perfmon on the server's console. The Customer was shocked at how well the server was running while the technician checked it out.
Shortly after he'd left the site the Customer called complaining that the server was "running slow" again. We paged the technician to turn back. He checked it again and still found nothing wrong. It was mysteriously fast again, too. That observation set the wheels in motion for an eventual diagnosis.

Apparently this happened enough that there was KB article published on it: https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_KB_Arch...
