High CPU load window server

[joaomneto]

Hi, I just wanted to make you aware that Bubo sometimes generates high cpu load in the windowserver process on my macbook 13 2017 w/ High Sierra. It took me a long time to detect the problem and finaly found out that this is generally caused by items on menu bar making a lot of drawing updates. I know that your app doesn't do this. But killing bubo finally solved the issue.

I used this as a lead for the problem.

Also on High Sierra. CPU spikes as soon as I press one of the headset buttons (that does not seem to have any other effect)

Also have this issue on High Sierra 10.13.4 - WindowServer stayed at around 97% until I killed Bubo, then dropped to ~2%

Is Bubo still necessary on macOS High Sierra?

Right :-)
I later realized that if Spotify is running, I can control it from my headphones...
