Is this workikng as intended?

High CPU usage does not go down at all regardless of #of images in unless all were set to solid color, non-slideshow backgrounds.
9900X3D Display Fusion CPU Usage with any image slide show enabled: 6.9% - 11.1%
For comparison: Firefox (20 active tabs Google, Wowhead, GPT, Twitch streams) 2-5%, World of Warcraft Client 4-9%
Solid color (black), 14 splits: 0.1-1%

Beta 3: 0.1-1%

Slideshow actual time to change backgrounds:
Global Image History ON:
3286 images, 14 splits, 1 minute interval: 7 minutes 30 seconds

Global OFF:
3286 images, 14 splits, 1 minute interval: 6 minutes 30 seconds

32 images, 14 splits, 1 minute interval: 1 minute 5 seconds
101 images, 14 splits, 1 minute interval: 1 minute 5 seconds
1220 images, 14 splits, 1 minute interval: 2 minutes 50 seconds
3286 images, 14 splits, 1 minute interval: 6 minutes 30 seconds

Beta 3:
3286 images, 14 splits, 1 minute interval: 1 minute 50 seconds

Saving Desktop Wallpaper settings (Applying Wallpaper Settings):
3286 images, 14 splits (global off): 8 minutes 50 seconds

32 images, 14 splits: 32 seconds
101 images, 14 splits: 36 seconds
1220 images, 14 splits: 3 minutes 15 seconds
3286 images, 14 splits: 8 minutes 50 seconds

Also, with larger numbers of images for the slideshow, swapping profiles is unresponsive . For example, Profile 1 with 3286 images is loaded, switch to Profile 2 with 101 images. Profile 2 is loaded, some minutes later Profile 1 is set active again. ]]>
