Performance Optimizations

This release dramatically reduces CPU usage through intelligent update scheduling.

Changes

• Tiered update system: Different metrics update at different intervals based on how often they change
  • Fast (1s): CPU usage, network speed
  • Medium (2s): Memory, GPU usage
  • Slow (3s): Temperature, fans
  • Very slow (10s): Battery, system info, brightness
  • Glacial (30s): Disk space, SSD health
• Cached brightness monitoring: Library loaded once at startup instead of every second
• SSD health caching: Only checked every 60 seconds
• Panel visibility optimization: Minimal updates when panel is hidden

Performance Improvement

• Panel hidden: ~1-2% CPU (was 10-12%)
• Panel open: ~4-5% CPU (was 10-12%)
• 80% reduction in CPU usage
