dude how do waybar and polybar both waste more power on an idle system than quickshell

quickshell literally has a full GPU context with a scene graph and a javascript thing in its UI markup, and it’s constantly propagating events through all that. it’s not even showing up in powertop unless i’m actively poking around in it. looks like most of the time it’s not even doing a single microsecond of work per second

i guess the GTK bars just do a lot of polling and cairo is crazy inefficient?
