Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 2.4.3344-dev
- OS: macOS
- OS Version: 12.3.1
Bug Description:
If the Binary Ninja window is covered by other windows and is in the background, after a short time the analysis performance is severely throttled to less than one core. This is probably done by the OS but there is likely an API to allow background processing to continue to have good performance.

Start by reproducing the issue on macOS 12.3.1 with the Binary Ninja window covered, then trace how background analysis is scheduled and identify the macOS behavior involved; done means analysis keeps good performance while the application is in the background.
