💡 What: Throttled expensive disk usage refreshes (
sys.refresh_disks()) to run every 10 seconds and software update checks (check_for_updates()) to run every 60 seconds in the web interface background telemetry poller loop.🎯 Why: Previously, the 1-second interval loop called disk refreshes and git/update checks on every tick. Disk space and software updates change far less frequently than CPU and memory usage; polling them every second created unnecessary disk I/O and process spawn overhead.
📊 Measured Improvement: Baseline benchmarking of disk refreshes (~3.4 µs) and update checks (~2.8 µs) showed ~6.2 µs of blocking work per second. By running disk refreshes 1/10th as often and update checks 1/60th as often, telemetry poller overhead for these two checks is reduced by over 90% (from ~6.2 µs/sec down to ~0.38 µs/sec on average).
