I've had no problems with bugs in After Dark 2.0.  True, it doesn't come
on when you're downloading when System IQ is on, but that's the whole point
of System IQ.  If it finds a lot of CPU time going somewhere, it figures
that the CPU is doing something.  Turing on the screensaver would only
take away CPU time from that process.  Personally, I leave System IQ off
most of the time.  For downloads, I find that the performance drops from
maybe 95% to 93%.  For local calls, that doesn't bother me too much.
It's never crashed on me.
