Thanks for opening this up. If anybody has practical suggestions on how to improve this, I am all for it.

I've got around 15 or so projects and quite a number of tasks. I'm sort of using it to make projects and information more manageable with structure so the timing part of SP isn't essential for me right now but the highest CPU usage I've seen with SP has been around 16% but that has been temporary and only visible when I'd been jumping between projects/tasks with the app maximised or filling part of the screen and it meditatively drops to 0-3%, more often 0% when left idle/minimized, the memory it takes from the 7 tasks that it creates in KSysGuard in Linux is around 170-240 MB but not consistent.

I wouldn't say that SP is overly burdensome on the system so maybe there is another issue at hand, unless of course others are also seeing the same issue.

@NumDeP thanks for digging into this!!! I a came to the same results on my tests. There is a little bit of overhead as longer running stuff of the app is not separat from main window, I didn't finde anything too excessive. I admit that the app is maybe not lightweight, but it is not too bad neither given all the stuff it does and the cross platform support.
