Investigate/Fix CPU utilization #29

Open MatthiasGrandl opened 6 months ago

MatthiasGrandl commented 6 months ago

Loungy is pretty heavy on CPU. It's not acceptable for it to use 1.5% of my CPU while running in the background, draining my battery.

Even worse, it seems after some sleep/wakeup cycles Loungy sometimes goes into a state of hogging the entire CPU, making my MacBook run hot and draining the battery insanely fast. I have yet to figure out what causes this.

I fixed the wakeup issue in GPUI, waiting for feedback from upstream if the fix can be upstreamed, but for Loungy purposes it works nicely.

Another issue is the current clipboard implementation. If you have a big image in the clipboard, it's bytes get hashed every second, which causes huge CPU utilization. Instead of polling arboard I should implement a platform specific clipboard watcher that notifies the clipboard module somehow.
