PlasmaZones 1.11.6
4 changes, released February 16, 2026.
Performance
- Dynamic poll timer: Poll rate switches from 500ms (idle) to 32ms (~30Hz) only when LMB is pressed, eliminating continuous 60Hz stacking-order scans on the compositor thread when no drag is active (#167)
- Early-exit idle polls:
DragTracker::pollWindowMoves()skips the full stacking-order iteration when no drag is active and no button is held - Reduced D-Bus traffic during drag: Active-drag poll rate lowered from 16ms (60Hz) to 32ms (30Hz) because zone detection doesn’t need sub-33ms updates, and halving D-Bus message serialization on the compositor thread reduces frame-time jitter on high-refresh-rate displays (#167)
- Guard redundant daemon work:
hideOverlayAndClearZoneState()now short-circuits when overlay is already hidden and zone state is clear, preventing 30HzclearHighlights()/clearHighlight()calls that could congest the daemon event loop and create D-Bus back-pressure (#167)
