That's not too bad.  Some folks can't even see their wallpaper.  The thing 
is that everything Windows has to draw and keep in memory will pull from its 
pool of resources.  The more icons there are on your desktop, the less the 
system is able to devote to other tasks like multimedia.  Lessen the number 
of items and you'll have more power at your disposal.  This is one of the 
main reasons I suggested using the Quicklaunch bar a while back.  The system 
treats the entire bar as a single entity, but each icon or folder on the 
desktop gets its own memory space.  I don't think 12 items on the desktop 
will have too much effect on your ability to run a moving screensaver, but I 
still thought I'd mention it.

Peace,
Gman
