            Bug ID: 505730
           Summary: Excessive GPU usage in the filemap view
    Classification: Applications
           Product: filelight
      Version First 25.04.2
       Reported In:
          Platform: Debian testing

          Severity: normal

Filelight in the background with radeontop displaying noticeable GPU use.

SUMMARY
Filelight appears to be constantly using the GPU when in the directory map
view. I could reproduce this both on an Intel Haswell and AMD Raven Ridge
system. I also tested this with the version from Debian Bookworm (22.12.3),
where I couldn't reproduce this issue. As such, this might be a regression from
commit https://invent.kde.org/utilities/filelight/-/commit/e06fcc2e‍.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Filelight
2. Analyze any directory
3. Inspect GPU usage (with intel_gpu_top, radeontop or any sufficient tool)

OBSERVED RESULT
Filelight consistently uses a noticeable amount of GPU resources.

EXPECTED RESULT
Filelight only uses GPU resources right after analyzing is finished or when
being interacted with.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Haswell: Intel Celeron 2955U w/ HD Graphics GT1, 1366×768, Wayland
Raven: Ryzen 3 2300U w/ Radeon Vega 6, 1080×1920 at 125%, Wayland (screenshot
included)
