Renderer process using too much CPU

[samuelawachie]

Spotify version 1.2.77.358.g4339a634

(Linux Mint 22.2)

Once the spotify-client downloaded via the apt is in the foreground, this particular process (the renderer process) consumes about 10 to 40% of the CPU. It of course makes the fans spin loudly on the laptop and is frustrating to listen to music. 

One doesn't even have to have anything playing. Just having the application open and not minimized makes the renderer process go crazy with these CPU cycles.

This wasn't the case in the 1.2.8 version (that I was using in Linux Zorin due to the old UI that that version enabled me to use).

If there's a way to resolve the dependency **bleep** that installing that 1.2.8 version on mint, I'd go back to it irrespective of the newer version of the application.

Please this needs to be fixed. 

I have even searched out similar topics of this issue, and there are no fixes.

Something's wrong with the renderer process when the application is in the foreground. If it's backgrounded, no issue at all.

Look into it please
