Changing the setting for how long it takes the screensaver to display causes it to display a LOT quicker than the value you chose - for example, changing the setting to 5 seconds causes it to display in about two.
This only affects the menus - the screensaver does display at the correct time setting chosen during the game.
Does it always seem to be about half of the expected time while on the menus?

Yes - I normally use the default setting of 2 minutes, but now it only feels like one.
Bug still occurs in 443! Had to post here to prevent it from falling through the cracks.
5 seconds is 1 second before screensaver starts.
Bug persists in 448.
Remember:

Fixed - more or less. The actual wait time might vary by as much as a factor of 2, due to the Windows timer on some machines only being accurate to 10 milliseconds.
Bug confirmed fixed in 478. 5 seconds is like 5 seconds before screensaver starts. Dead bug.
What is the point of having the screensaver in windowed mode? Can you disable that function for windowed mode or is there no way?
Windows, as in the OS, not windowed 😉. On my machine the timing is fine - the resolution is less than 1ms - but I know some people, eg franpa, have had trouble before.
