[bisq-network/bisq] High CPU Consumed (#4370)

[BawydAnarchist]

Firefox as a web browser is significantly more complex than Bisq, yet consumes far less CPU, unless I have half a dozen charting tabs open, or streaming videos.  And graphically speaking, Bisq, by comparison is far less complicated.  I can also regularly run Firefox with a couple tabs of say, Github, reddit, or Facebook, rarely breaking 30% CPU, and only when I'm loading a page. 

I say all of that to prevent anyone from just hand waving this away.  Just sitting there doing nothing in a totally separate workspace should not be consuming 90% of my CPU every 20 seconds.  I had a similar problem with the Monero wallet, and they replied with a solution related to QML_SCENE within 15 minutes, which totally fixed the issue.  

I just tried allocating 12GB of memory to the VM, which did very little.  My password, from the moment the pop arrived, to actually accepting the input, was about 2-3 minutes total.  Typed the password and hit enter, an watched for 60 more seconds for Bisq to catch up ... character .... by ......... character ..... by ......[you get the idea].  

To sum up:  Yes it's inconvenient not having OpenGL, but this is not a showstopper for other apps I use that are far more graphically intensive than Bisq.

I suppose I can abandon the GUI and go CLI.  I'm guessing a not insignificant number of people use Bisq on Qubes.
