Open aluveitie opened 3 years ago
Thanks for pointing this out. I have noticed this since adding the animation. However, I never kept it open for too long and around 17% CPU usage for an active animation GUI app is not a too big deal and totally acceptable to me. Considering if some would like to keep the gadget open all day this might become a big headache.
It is always good to keep optimizing tho. I'll see if it is possible to reduce CPU usage while keeping the same animation. Otherwise, there can be a small button at the interface to disable animation if wanted.
The App also pushes WindowServer CPU utilization considerably too.
I like to have it open since it saved me a couple of times when the power connection of pump was a little loose and suddenly stopped working. I just noticed this in time due to the CPU temp rising suddenly without any load on the system.

This is the normal CPU usage of the App based on version 0.6.2 (with kext version check removed):
This is the CPU usage of the App after 0.6.3
The new fluid drawing routine is responsible for up to 30% to 50% increased power usage in idle.
