I love the how the cursor behaves and look like. Thank you.

The only thing is that the plugin uses a lot of CPU, on average 7-16%. Can something be done about that?

It isn't lagging or anything like that. It's just I noticed that it hogs the CPU. 😁

Thanks again for the great plugin. 🙇‍♂️

Thanks for noticing me about this. This is what I've been aware before. In normal case, moving cursor repeatedly around the text consumes about 6%-14% CPU usage (may be vary on different device). With the plugin switched on, it can reach 17% of CPU usage, and this cannot be avoided. Because, each time the user try to move the cursor, the plugin make some calculations toward its position.

This is needed because in fact the cursor was drawn as a DOM element, in contrast to the native cursor, and because the native one cannot be animated.

Due to this impact, I placed a caveat in the readme, so anyone may consider installing this plugin. Apologize for this discomfort issue.
