Additional Information

CPU is a 3rd Gen Ryzen 5.
Tried to disable Plugins, that may increase CPU Usage: Ambient-Mode, Audio-Kompressor, Synced Lyrics, Theme from Albumcover -> Same issue.

To Note: I can reproduce high CPU Usage in FF with the Web Version, BUT:
My current WORKAROUND is to start the app using argument --disable-gpu. Seems like there is some Problem with Nvidia drivers + Electron.
With this enabled, the CPU Usage is "normal" like other electron-apps (discord).
Usage 0,5-3% playing and 6-11% on Song-change.

(found that fix on standardnotes/forum#3866 )

Maybe for a Workaround²: in the app a switch (settings) to disable the gpu?
