Hi there, nice plugin and enjoying using it, however the CPU usage is particularly heavy - 41% on my MacStudio M1Max. I've just updated to the latest version too and still seems to be very high. Any tips?

Hey! As of 0.8.25, this seems about right. The v1.0 update will bring a new graphics backend using Metal rather than OpenGL which may reduce the CPU/GPU usage a bit.

However, keep in mind that on macOS 41% is a bit misleading. On a Mac Studio with 10 cores it's 41% / 1000%. I see a similar amount of usage on my development Mac (a MacBook Pro M1 Max). In addition I've noted that MiniMeters sometimes gets put on efficiency cores. You will see a higher percentage on those cores as well since they are less powerful.

Thanks Joe, sorry I only just saw your reply. This is helpful thank you
