Intended to resolve: adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_DisplayIO_SSD1306#48
This
while True:loop runs very fast and revs one of the CPU cores even while the display isn't being refreshed. A tiny sleep inside of it appears to keep the CPU usage much lower watchinghtopwhile doingimport displayioin REPL and running ssd1306 simpletest.Needs more robust testing still, so far I've only used it on SSD1306 for a quick proof of concept and to check htop. I'll mark this as ready once I've tested SPI displays and more thoroughly in general.
@makermelissa does it make sense to you to have a small sleep inside of this background loop?
