Animations causes really high power usage

What is the issue Turning on animations causes a 2-4 watt increase in power usage reported by powertop. Disabling animations drops compfy from being the highest power consumption (idle without running something power hungry like a game) to being fairly lightweight. Animations don't just make the stats worse they decrease the amount of battery life I actually get.

What I've tried

Disabling & re-enabling other settings (only animations had noticeable changes
Different Backends
enabling/disabling wm patch option
comparing to picom (similar performance in regards to power consumption without animations

Relevant info Compfy version 1.7.2 installed with pacman

Neofetch for sysinfo:
