Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

The current text animations that run while waiting are running at (at least in my pc) 57fps, creating a full one core load when doing literally waiting.

Many terminal programs show progress by printing and deleting three dots, maybe we can do a trade for some of that ancient tech only so my laptop can be less noisy than my gpus :P

Or limit FPS as a quick bodgejob and let the animations keep trying to hog all cpu for fun.

OpenCode Version

v1.0.35

I have been snooping in the source code since a bit before 1.0.0, and i can't exactly tell where those animations are defined, but if anyone can give me some pointer into where to look at, i'm down to try to fix it

are you running v1? or is this an issue for v0? Because it is a known v0 issue, not a know v1 issue

i'd be surprised if this was from the animation - it might be a different issue, can maybe add a flag to test it out though

i have the same issue, the animations of flowing colored text eats CPU, once the animations stop (and, of course when nothing happens CPU us at 0% as it should be)
although i have very slow laptop with only integrated graphics, still, i came for CLI/TUI application to save battery
