From e684e701df0515efd207b2f70ca766acc9770075 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Austin Horstman Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 22:27:41 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] perf(sni): eliminate redundant g_memdup2 allocation for D-Bus pixbufs Memory profiling via Valgrind Massif indicated that 10-20% of peak memory allocations within the SNI loop resulted from copying DBus image data payloads via g_memdup2 before modifying them from ARGB to RGBA. This commit optimizes the pixel conversion by directly allocating the final array via g_malloc and running the ARGB->RGBA transposition in a single pass while copying from the read-only GVariant buffer, entirely eliminating the intermediate g_memdup stage.
