Positive: Works fine, does what it says.
Negative: Redundant, eats too much memory (this is more Apple's fault than the developer's)
The fast user switching menu extra takes less screen space and less system resources, and it doesn't require me opening a bunch of mini-apps (read: widgets) just to lock the screen.
What a fantastic widget! Better than using Expose screen saver hot corner, and allows me to more easily show off my Visage-customized login panel/screen. Utilizing 5.5MB real memory & 0.00% CPU in Activity Monitor. Thanks!
