High GPU usage on autoeq.app website due to swirly lines animation

[TheForcer]

Describe the bug When visiting autoeq.app, I've noticed my PC fans spinning up, even though I did nothing else computionally. In Task Manager I can see a consistant ~30/40% GPU usage while on the site, which goes down to 0 after closing the page. This happens in Chrome/Firefox/Edge.

To Reproduce Visit autoeq.app. Monitor GPU usage via Task Manager.

Expected behavior I expect roughly no GPU usage when visiting the site 😁

System:

• Win 10 22H2
• Firefox/Edge/Chrome 113

Additional context The swirly lines effect on the bottom of the page seems to be the culprit. I created a uBlock Origin Filter (autoeq.app##.css-ny5in9 > svg:nth-child(1)) which removes the effect, and GPU load is 0 now. I think it would be for the better if the effect was removed or replaced with a less demanding effect ;)

I understand the point of view but I implemented the waves knowing fully their performance impact and therefore they're going stay. Computers work for us, not the other way around.

I guess this won't change anyway, but I wanted to let you know that this animation cause the app to be laggy on the phone, this is a bit unfortunate.
