Enabling Octoscreen plugin doubles OctoPrint CPU usage

[manbehindthemadness]

I am experiencing a problem when I enable this plugin within octoprint it causes a large spike in CPU usage resulting in timeouts. As the OctoScreen UI application exit and restarts on a timeout it further compounds the issue to the point of causing serial communication failures during prints.
This is on a Beaglebone Black.
What I do find interesting is that the OctoScreen UI application uses almost no resources at all until it drops into reload loops.
