CPU Usage pretty high on M1 Mac

[Universumgames]

It's not really a bug, but more an annoyance. The CPU usage of eul on my M1 Pro is pretty high with idling around 100% in the Activity Monitor (probably taking one full efficiency core?).

Screenshots

Context

• eul version: v1.6.2
• macOS version: 12.2
• Device model: MacBook M1 Pro 16" 512 GB 16 GB

Debug Output Nothing interesting going on here, but if you wish so...

Terminal output of running eul for around 5 seconds and opening menu

Update to cpu usage after apparently 6 hours (CPU time) or rather 3 hours realtime...

[Universumgames]

quitting and reopening the application decreases the CPU usage down to <5% when the menu is open and disappears from the first "page" ~20 entries when the menu is closed ( <1% CPU usage)

It is not optimized for any Apple Silicon devices. We have been waiting since @gao-sun has gotten a new Pro machine but he has not done so yet, but we are all hoping for an M1 version soon!

[gao-sun]

I'm working on it. Will publish a new version once complete.

[MusaAqeel]

I'm working on it. Will publish a new version once complete.

Excited!

[alexander-potemkin]

Thank you! I just discovered the app, amazed, but then found it eat like 1-2 cores of my M1, so had to shut it down for now. Hope it will be an easy transition!

And by the way, is there any way I can buy you a cup of coffee or support you in some other way?

[xeron]

I don't think it's an M1 issue. I saw this happening on Intel Mac as well. Restart of EUL usually fixed it for a while.

[alexander-potemkin]

To support this thesis, on M1 it doesn’t start eating the processor immediately after the start.

[gao-sun]

please see #243

[alexander-potemkin]

Thanks for letting know!
