Drastic performance improvements in Gavilya with v2

[lpeyr]

Huge performance improvements

Starting with version 2.0.0.2110-pre1, you will notice huge performance improvement while using Gavilya.
The RAM usage has been divided by ~5-7!

Before/after

When Starting Gavilya with 16 games:
Tests were conducted on an Intel Core i5 11600K, with 32GB of RAM.

	Before (1.9.0.2109)	After (2.0.0.2110-pre1)
CPU Usage	12.8%	9.8%
RAM Usage	454 MB	75.4 MB

How is it possible?

The huge RAM usage comes from game cover images. They were loaded at their highest resolution, which uses a lot of RAM. Using high resolution images is useless, since they are displayed on small game cards. To improve performance, we reduced the resolution of the image when it's being loaded. As you can see in the above results, this brings better performances, and you won't see a difference in the image quality: In fact, game cover images look better with a smaller resolution.

Version 2.0

These performance improvements will ship with version 2.0 of Gavilya.
