[CONSULT] Is there a way to overcome the 100ms and sync the frequency to the monitor? #393

Hello, I was wondering if there is a particular reason we can't go further than the 100ms ( 9fps) update frequency. Is it a Linux terminal limitation?

I'd like to have a 16ms frequency to match it to my monitor (60Hz) or even further. Do you think is possible to get it?

Regards

@vergelli See my response to a similar question in the btop repository: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/discussions/421

Also keep in mind that bpytop can be between 10-100 times slower than btop, so lowering the update time below 100ms will mostly be wasting alot of cpu resources while not providing that much extra meaningful information.
