When the blinking cursor suspends - wayst cpu activity spikes #64

Closed etenim closed 4 years ago

I noticed that after a small amount of inactivity, wayst would cause the fan in my laptop to speed up. The reason was increased cpu activity (>20%) caused by the cursor suspending it's blinking.

Using wayst (built with window_protocol=wayland) on a wayland compositor, with the example config file from README.md.

Setting "blink = false" is a workaround that prevents the spiked cpu activity.
