Show Node Power pauses populating the tree if PoB is not currently focused.

Describe the solution you'd like

Continue to process Node Power if PoB is in the background.

If pausing is essential for some users, add an option to process in the background.

Research direction

Locate the Show Node Power processing entry point and trace where work pauses when PoB loses focus. Check how background processing currently behaves and whether any existing setting controls it. Done means Node Power continues populating while PoB is unfocused, or an explicit option provides that behavior without disrupting normal use.
