Description Michael D 2019-09-05 10:18:19 UTC 
The new notification timer that counts down until the notification expires causes roughly 15% CPU utilization on my dual core Intel Core i5 Kaby Lake processor. The constantly moving timer also makes notifications more distracting. I would prefer improved battery life and less distracting notifications over having the timer. At the least, I would like to see an option to disable the timer.
