When I leave atral open, not immediately but some hours later I see it
using A LOT of CPU. I think the party who submitted this package needs
to review their code. I can't imagine an E-reader (!) needing to
spontaneously consume that much in resources when it's not even being
interacted with. Possible security hole.

[I switched to foliate; it's pretty good, CPU is light...]
