~whynothugo/wdisplays-ng#1: 
Very high CPU usage

Currently the GUI renders in a loop, while true.

We should actually ask the compositor to request the next frame when necessary. This should reduce rendering to 60frames/second (or whatever the compositors caps at).

This'll also avoid rendering when in the background.

Note: it might not be RENDERING more than necessary, wdisplay might be requesting frames from wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1 more than necessary.

Apparently, when a screencopy frame is received, another is immediately requested. Even when the main window is in background.

Can't find if the request cycle is tied to rendering or not -- it would seem not.
