Help Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 screensaver

Actually, I don't remember my tab coming with any screensaver enabled. I had to do some research as the Android OS and Samsung Touchwiz don't have any built in screensaver feature. Turns out the Tab 2 has a Samsung Screensaver App. You'll find it listed in the apps list. And there are many emails talking about what a power hog it is (it's an app running all the time when the tab should be in standby mode).

Open the screensaver app and you can disable it. I don't see anyway to change what it displays. Then if you go onto google play and search for screensaver, all it seems to display are wallpapers. So this Samsung Screensaver App seems to be something custom from Samsung?
