[bug] High CPU when image in clipboard #280
Description
Describe the bug
RustCast seems to CPU spike when images are in the clipboard. CPU spike stays until clipboard is cleared.
To Reproduce
- Have RustCast running in the background
- Copy a picture to the clipboard, e.g., from file, preview, screenshot tool, etc
- View CPU spike in Activity Monitor
Expected behavior
RustCask to not spike CPU usage based on clipboard
Screenshots
Which macos version? (please complete the following information):
- MBP M3 Pro
- MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1
- RustCast 0.7.9
- RustCast installed via homebrew
Additional context
- Potentially related to issue High energy usage #169
- I've noticed the CPU spikes correlate to image size: less for smaller images, higher for larger images.

Yea. This would be fixed once #233 gets added.
Until then I'll keep this open cos this is a separate issue that has the same fix.

Hi @enormouspoon could you try using #295 and seeing if that has the same issue?
