RAM usage and resource optimization

On Windows, I've noticed the app sits consistently around 300MB of RAM, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. I've used other similar tools in the past that hovered around 30MB or so, which made me wonder if there's room for optimization on that front.

I also noticed my MacBook Air M1 running warmer than usual during the same workflow I normally do.

I can't say for certain Vowen is responsible, but connecting the dots with what I saw on Windows, it felt worth mentioning — especially on a fanless machine where thermals matter a bit more.

I completely understand that a tool with this many features has a certain overhead, and I'm not expecting it to be ultra-lightweight.

That said, I was wondering if any resource optimizations are on the roadmap — things like a more progressive resource usage model, or the ability to put certain features into standby when they're not actively being used, so the app has a lighter footprint during idle or low-usage moments.

Just to add context: I'm using cloud APIs only (Groq and OpenAI) — no local models running on my side — so the footprint isn't coming from inference.

Thanks as always for the great work
