No

Summary

Problem

Default configuration causes excessive CPU/I/O from plugin scanning.

  • 1-second TTL scanning 105+ directories
  • No hysteresis/debouncing on plugin state changes
  • Default config appears designed for high-performance dev machines, not production

Impact

  • Raspberry Pi-class devices show significant lag
  • Multi-channel (QQ + Feishu + Web) amplifies resource contention
  • Linear scaling with session count and scheduled tasks

Likely causes

  • Development tested on high-performance local hardware
  • Single-channel testing only (no multi-channel scenarios)
  • Missing performance profiling and regression tests

Expected behavior

Default config should be viable on:

  • Mid-range ARM devices (RPi 3/4 class)
  • Low-core count CPUs
  • Multi-channel deployments

Suggestion

  • Add performance-aware defaults (longer scan intervals, intelligent caching)
  • Consider an adaptive TTL based on device capabilities
  • Add a "performance mode" preset for constrained environments

TL;DR

Increase the scan interval and consider implementing intelligent caching to reduce CPU/I/O load from plugin scanning.

Guidance

  • Review the current default configuration for plugin scanning and adjust the TTL to a longer interval to reduce the frequency of scans.
  • Implement hysteresis or debouncing on plugin state changes to prevent excessive scanning.
  • Consider adding a "performance mode" preset for constrained environments, such as mid-range ARM devices or low-core count CPUs.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of adaptive TTL based on device capabilities to optimize performance.

Example

No specific code example is provided, but adjusting the scan interval could be achieved by modifying the configuration file or environment variables that control the plugin scanning settings.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the default configuration being optimized for high-performance development machines rather than production environments. The suggested changes aim to make the configuration more performance-aware and adaptable to different device capabilities.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by increasing the scan interval and implementing intelligent caching, as the current default configuration is not suitable for production environments, especially on mid-range ARM devices or low-core count CPUs.
