9.1.2 Observation - LocalUI.Service

[Tim Curtis]

I'd never tried the animated backdrop before - just tried it and it seemed slow and jerky so I removed the disable-gpu option and restarted.
The animation still seemed slow and jerky so maybe thats as good as a Pi 3 can do.
I am still running the animated "now playing" waveform and that seems to cope.

Ok good info. The EQ animated icon typically pushes CPU utilization up quite a bit for example 60% vs 5% with just the static waveform icon.
