Unusable CPU utilization #36

Closed bedazzler closed 3 years ago

bedazzler commented 3 years ago

I love the idea of app but this latest version causes my system to lag like no other. As soon as I open a visualization my CPU utilization hits 90% making this app unusable for me.

Here is a screenshot of my system running Spotify and Chrome: image

And another of my system running Spotify and Chrome but with Kaleidosync running: image

The utilization dips immediately if I navigate to a different tab without Kaleidosync running or if I close it.

Just as an update - my work machine (a 2019 Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9) handles this app perfectly so it might be a chip architecture thing. image

Strange – it looks like you're not getting any sort of hardware acceleration (1% NVIDIA GPU utilization) on the Windows machine. Do you maybe accidentally have hardware acceleration disabled in Chrome?
