Description of the bug

After following all the commands on the installation.html page and launching Hyprland, my GPU usage exceeded 90%.

I modified files including hypr/configs/monitors.conf, hypr/configs/workspaces.conf, and waybar/config.jsonc by replacing "DP-1" with my own settings. The GPU usage still remained above 90%.

I then edited hypr/scripts/autostart/services to comment out swww-daemon, pypr, and waybar, which finally reduced GPU usage to 1%~3%.

hypr/theme/theme.conf this file GPU occupies 8%.

I discovered that swww-daemon and pypr were consuming 25% of the GPU, while waybar alone used 60% of the GPU. Within Waybar, the cava and workspace modules showed the highest resource usage, while other components had minimal impact.

Additionally, there are some tools in the .config folder not mentioned in installation.html - can safely remove unused configurations in .config?

Finally, thank you very much for sharing your configuration files!
