v1.11.0 - Performance Optimizations

🚀 What's New - Performance Optimizations

This release focuses on reducing CPU usage and heat generation when the app runs in the background.

Changes

• Reduced auto-refresh frequency: Timer changed from 60 seconds to 5 minutes
• Smart file caching: Only re-processes JSONL files that have been modified
• Optimized date parsing: Reuses ISO8601DateFormatter instead of creating one per line
• Eliminated duplicate processing: Removed redundant file parsing
• Removed artificial delays: Eliminated unnecessary Thread.sleep()
• Proper resource cleanup: Timers and event monitors are now properly invalidated on app termination

Impact

Users should notice significantly lower CPU usage and reduced heat generation, especially with large conversation histories.
