ok, here are the values I used in the .desktop files that look like they
produce CPU usage lower than 30%, but again, I was just doing visual
monitoring, not actual CPU values:

I'll just wait till you can find your notes, but I'm pretty sure adding
-nice and limiting -x to a framerate that the eye can see(or detect) (25
or 30 FPS) works.
