v0.1.3 - Enhanced CPU Monitoring & Performance

bubbleMonitor v0.1.3 - Enhanced CPU Monitoring & Optimization

This release addresses user feedback regarding high resource usage and confusion about CPU metrics >100%.

🚀 New Features

Normalized CPU Usage (Btop Style)

By default, Linux reports CPU usage as the sum of all cores (e.g., 200% = 2 full cores). This can be confusing.
We've added a Normalized Mode option!

• Raw Mode (Default): Shows total usage (e.g., 400% on 4 cores). Accurate for capacity planning.
• Normalized Mode: Shows 0-100% scale (divided by core count). Better for "how busy is this process relative to the whole machine".

How to use:

• Press n to toggle instantly.
• Or change "Process CPU" in the Settings menu (.).

⚡ Performance Improvements

We addressed reports of high CPU usage by bub itself (17.5%):

• Optimized Rendering: The process list rendering engine was rewritten to pre-allocate styles, eliminating thousands of memory allocations per frame.
• Smarter Updates: Background analysis logic was split to avoid redundant calculations, reducing CPU overhead during monitoring cycles.
• Memory Fixes: Fixed a potential memory leak in process history tracking.

🛠️ Fixes

• Fixed stale data in history graphs.
• Improved responsiveness of the settings menu.
