Intermittent high CPU use by WindowServer daemon associated with ItsyCal #142

I've noticed intermittent high CPU usage by WindowServer which seems to be associated with ItsyCal, seemingly since the last update. At least, when I quit ItsyCal, it stops. After the CPU fan calms down and I relaunch ItsyCal, all seems fine.

If/when I see it again, I can send the ItsyCal process a signal (ie: if you wish to setup a signal handler that dumps some state info) or turn on and send logs if that's useful.

ItsyCal's about says it's 0.11.17 (1388)

Unfortunately, I don't know what WindowServer is so I'm not sure how it's related to Itsycal. You can get logs with Console.app and see if there is anything related to WindowServer there. Here is some info on using Console: https://www.mowglii.com/itsycal/diagnostics.html

WindowServer is apparently the basic gui library for macos - draws pretty much everything you see as I understand it. I'm pretty sure now that it's not ItsyCal that's the culprit, anyway. Apologies for the false alarm!
