Feature Request : Low resolution mode on macOS

[jeyum2]

On macOS, CPU Utilization is too high.

Goxel didn't consume computing resources until v0.83 It was changed after retina mode was default, (v0.9, commit 438d3bd) When I reverted this changes on v0.10, CPU Utilization was down as same as v0.83 So can you add "Low resolution mode" to Preferences?

I tested with basic model of macbook pro 2015 13" I'm not sure it is only for old mac, but it is not so different between it and the latest basic model of macbook pro 13 in terms of performance, I think. It is very helpful for old or basic model of macs.

Are you sure this is the CPU usage, and not GPU? How did you measure the CPU usage?

The first is for v0.10(between it and v0.9 are quite similar) The second is for v0.83

You can see the difference in cpu utilization tab at the bottom.

Of course cpu utilization doesn't affect the performance directly and maybe there are another issues like GPU usage.

The main point is my mac is very slow-downed when I use Goxel after v0.9, And when I turn off wantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface and set scale to 1, it shows nice performance like before v0.9.

OK... I can try to add this option in the settings yes.
