Feedback

Poolside Desktop causes sustained high GPU usage in WindowServer on macOS.

Reproduction:

1. Launch Poolside Desktop.
2. Observe WindowServer in Activity Monitor: ~40% GPU.
3. Hide/minimize Poolside: GPU usage remains high.
4. Quit Poolside completely: WindowServer GPU usage immediately drops.
5. Relaunch Poolside: high WindowServer GPU usage returns.

This happens even when Poolside is idle.

Environment: Apple Silicon Mac, macOS 26.6.2.
