# NousResearch/hermes-agent · DiffusionCanvas animation performance and resource limits

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address CPU/GPU overhead from the DiffusionCanvas animation loop, proposing throttling, frame rate budgets, and caps on concurrent instances to reduce resource usage during multiple simultaneous image generations.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Closed / duplicate issues
