CursorXP isn't very resource hungry. It uses about 1400K on my system. Just opening Notepad uses uses 4x that...6500K. Other than that you could try Googling for ani's

https://www.wincustomize.com/software.aspx to get the software. Go to the gallery Tab to see the CursorXP library.

You shoud just try CursorXP. If you don't like it you can always uninstall it.

Not sure if there is a time limit on it. The only thing that is disabled is the cursor trails I believe.

Ah!! A fan of regular cursor skinning!!! Yes I miss those things! Not many (if at all) people make those anymore. Icon Packager allows you to make them and package them but no one does that. Usually people make cursorXP skins instead.
As far as I know, your best bet is to get CursorXP. The only icon pack in Icon Packager that has cursors is Argis by Pierre Cavanna. (and its nice too)
Oh and if you know someone who has eye sight problems and they are on XP, you should tell them about CursorXP. Some of the cursors are big and easy to use.

No, they can't be converted to ani files, because CursorXP files use alpha blending, and ani files use one color transparency. They would look awful.
Since CursorXP allows you to resize your cursors, ALL sets can be large. (but maybe it's only the Pro version that allows resizing).........
