Performance of the eww

[timsofteng]

Hello. I use sway with waybar. Almost all my soft is as lightweight as possible except of browser. Will I get the same performance with eww as with waybar throw same widgets or eww is more resource hungry?

Eww is based on GTK, just like waybar, and written in rust so performance shouldn't be a problem. It should be pretty light unless you got a very complex config, say 100+ widgets and 30+ polling/listening variables which point you will notice lag and potentially some bugs (might have been fixed in recent commits).
