          @JohnBachini - I suspect it’s Electron. IIRC, it doesn’t support hardware acceleration for graphics. So all of the animation is done by the CPU.

          As a test, you can start your mirror in server only mode and then open the mirror interface in a web browser. Firefox, Chrome & Edge all support hardware acceleration. Chromium might. See if that affects CPU usage and your temperature.
