This should be substantially better in the final version, and with Plasma 5.27.5. Can you confirm that?

memory leak

Currently the framerate is 60 fps, but the mouse pointer is still barely visible while moved.
And the memory leaks continuously while Spectacle records the screen and I move the mouse pointer, until the whole computer stops. Please see the attached screenshot.
