Reducing CPU usage about kanata HOT 3 CLOSED

Yeah this was definitely the shoddy tcp incoming message handling code on my working branch. 😅

tl;dr I was wasting a lot of cycles trying to acquire mutex locks unnecessarily.

I have fixed this now, CPU usage is back at a cool 0%. 😎

Oops, misclicked on mobile.

Before making any action, it would be good to gather info and understand why kanata is somehow spending 30% of CPU resources.

For me on version 1.0.5 in Windows, kanata usually stays at 0% and I've only seen it reach 0.2% occasionally. This is without doing any processor affinity changes.

My initial guess is something problematic that we missed in the TCP code, but I'm unsure for now.

I wouldn't want a user to have to mess around with configurations of number of processors to reduce CPU consumption; it should be at a good, low level by default.

Okay the TCP server is probably exactly the root of this problem. 😅

I'll dig around in the code on my branch and try to figure this out.
