Significant lag when switching to or maximizing window about spot HOT 4 CLOSED

Might be spec related indeed :/ I can't do much when the window resizes, I am barely in control at this point, gtk does all the heavy lifting. Is it an issue you encounter with other apps? Or with other libhandy based apps?

I'd advise using a CLI based spotify client, there are quite a few that work great!

Thank you for the recording, this was helpful to understand the problem!

The only issues I have with lag in other programs on this laptop come from electron apps.

I'll probably have to use ncspot, yeah. I don't have Gnome as my DE which I suspect may be the issue. Thanks for the help anyway, I will surely use this on my main desktop 😃

My specs are: AMD A6-7310 quad core, 4GB ram, Radeon R4 graphics, Xubuntu 20.04 just in case someone has similar specs and has a similar issue.

Hi! Thank you for the detailed report.

This could be indeed related to limited hardware, but maybe we can still do something about it! I recently changed priorities for various tasks in the code, which could have an impact on this. Could you try using this snapshot build : https://github.com/xou816/spot/suites/2062684952/artifacts/41648291 and tell me if it's any better?

I'm very interested in hearing some feedback on this :) It's hard to see the difference this makes on powerful enough hardware

I'm not sure if that made a difference. I recorded a video showing the difference. Can't upload MKVs to github so here: https://0x0.st/-8rg.mkv (alt link https://files.catbox.moe/6frv2o.mkv)

(Note the CPU usage when I'm simply screen recording, which leads me to believe it's a spec issue?)
