Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I noticed a small but measurable increase in power usage when not plugged-in after using Flow Launcher for a few weeks or so. Manually setting "Efficiency mode" to the flow launcher executable in Task Manager solves this.

Describe the solution you'd like

For Flow Launcher to automatically set itself on efficiency mode on start up.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually set Flow Launcher to efficiency mode every restart.
