The first thing I noticed about Piclens is that it causes the cooling
fan on my video card to turn on... instantly. Before trying Piclens I
had never heard the fan running. I at least know now that it works but
I hate the sound of fans. I didn't much care for Piclens either. Seems
to do a lot of graphical backflips to no apparent good. It's more like
some programmer's "hey, dudes, look at what I can do" event than
anything useful. I think I'll stick with the nicely crafted high
resolution images that I just enjoy looking at while they're standing still.
