How is Path of Building expected to behave?

should not use more cpu/gpu when minimized

How does Path of Building behave?

after about a minute or two of pob being minimized, it uses too much cpu/gpu resource. Looks like 100% cpu single thread and 50% gpu (checked using task manager)

How to reproduce the issue
  1. start pob
  2. minimize
  3. wait 2 minutes
Character build code

No response

No source file or test is identified in the issue. Reproduce the problem by launching Path of Building, minimizing it, waiting about two minutes, and observing CPU and GPU usage in Task Manager; done means minimizing no longer causes the reported resource increase.
