Wappler CPU performance on Mac

I notice that Wappler sometimes spins up the fan on my MacBook Pro.

I checked Activity Monitor and it seems that when Wappler is running it also launches multiple instances of something called “nwjs Helper” and all combined they take up over half my CPU. See screenshot below…

I’m working under the assumption that nwjs Helper is Wappler related because when I quite Wappler all the nwjs Helper instances disappear from Activity Monitor. A quick google search explained that nwjs Helper has to do with Node.js apps and my guess is that Wappler itself is written in JS/Node.

Is nwjs Helper required for Wappler to run properly and, if so, is it normal for Wappler to spin up multiple instances of it?

Thanks!
