Neo 6.1 using 100% of a CPU core on Alacritty #26

This pegs one of my CPU cores when I run it in Alacritty 0.10.1.

I've got a Quadro T2000 onboard too

What command are you using to run neo?

Normally, neo limits itself to 60 screen updates per second. I'm wondering if that isn't working on your setup.

Here is a command that should reduce CPU utilization significantly:

neo --fps=20 -d 0.5 --speed=5 --noglitch --colormode=0 --bold=0 --charset=ascii

Hopefully, it should avoid hitting 100% CPU utilization. If it does, then you could try to narrow down exactly which arguments help. Also, reducing the terminal's size helps reduce CPU utilization.
