Excessive Resource Usage in Hyprland on Low-Spec Device Compared to dwm

[chadx0]

I am experiencing excessive resource consumption (CPU and RAM) when using Hyprland on a low-spec device. I do not encounter the same issue with dwm, which runs smoothly without any noticeable resource usage problems.

While dwm performs excellently on a low-spec device with minimal resource consumption, Hyprland causes a significant slowdown in performance due to excessive memory and CPU usage

does sway / river / kwin do the same?

Default wallpaper eats a lot of vram on start even when it is not used. 100 out of 300mb used by HL in my case. I guess initAssets isn't that useful and loadAsset should be deferred till needed.

loading the default wallpaper even on my 9950X takes a solid half a second or so. We cannot allow for such lag.

What we could do though is unload the texture if you have the default wallpaper disabled, I guess.

+1, no need to cache/preload if disabled, especially in memory critical contexts.
