Bug Description

after loop runs for awhile, the scrolling system wide becomes delayed.

Steps To Reproduce

The issue arises as long as loop is running (even if it isn't being used)

restarting loop temporarily resolves the issue, but it returns after some time period (usually around 10 minutes, but haven't timed precisely)

Expected Behavior

Scrolling should not be delayed

Actual Behavior

Scrolling is delayed after running the app

What type of scrolling (app(s) other items)? You noted "system wide," have you also made sure its Loop, and not another process, or loop subprocess? And, after 10 mins, isn't a "long time" has Loop ever risen in memory? As, slow scrolling is mostly your CPU or Memory being pegged.

I waited until the issue occurred again, which happened after about 20 hours (my 10 minute estimate was heavily recency biased...)
I'm not sure how to confirm that Loop is causing this, but I assumed it was since closing Loop resolves the issue.

heres a video of the scrolling delay (i'm just scrolling normally but the page is jumpy)

I more wish for you to focus on memory, you'll see Arc use a tonne of it, but normally it'd be CPU/memory or both, in the screenshots shared, it doesn't look like Loop is the cause. WindowServer being the biggest macOS trash in years, finder, mds, spotify, arc, only thing may be AXVisuals, but that's very unlikely. The video, it's not really massively clear, and could be just a spike, uhh, we'll have to investigate it more. But, if you can share memory + cpu screenshots when you're having the issues, that'd be awesome.

I'll also add to this, please update to the dev builds, i wish to test if it's also an issue on a newer build, as you've noted you're using 1.1.1

I got a similiar issue, but it's mostly appearing when moving windows around with the mouse, or resizing them.
They are dragging behind the cursor with almost a 1 second delay.
The longer loop is running, the bigger the issue gets. In my case it needs to be longer than 10 minutes though. Can't put an exact time on it.
I'll try to take screenshots of memory + cpu when the issue occurs again.

Setup is M1 Macbook Pro (Base Version) attached via USB C Dock to a 4k and 2.5k screen.
Maybe having two different scaled displays could be part of the issue?

My fix is the same as 8pxl's. Restarting (or closing in general) Loop instantly fixes the issue for some time.
Dev version is installed since quite some time and the issue was always there.
Loving Loop so I don't mind restarting, nonetheless it starts becoming more annoying.

Thanks if the bug can be found and fixed!
