I've since uninstalled the app. This affected my desktop wallpaper strangely in that the images piled atop one another 2 or 3 at a time while continuing to lap dissolve.

I have heard this is because Mac OS X treats each desktop icon as a window, but I am not sure if that's exactly why. It's always best to treat the cause but in a bind an app like this is pretty handy. You make a good point, the more stuff you have on your desktop, the slower Mac OS X seems to run.

The more there is on your desktop, the more your system can slow down - and this app not only keeps them there while merely hiding them, but also has it's own resource penalty. If your deskto is cluttered, perhaps consider cleaning it up, and then using something like Hazel to keep it that way.
