Performance impact of debug output

[24unix]

I’m building a tool for me to get rid off the loss of Total Spaces II on Monterey.

Currently I poll stats regularly via yabai -m query … which is not very nice.

I see two options to improve that:
Get the events log from yabai and parse them, which is fairly easy.

Another way would using yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed action= and so on to notify my App of events.
But I’ve never done that before, using the log file ist straightforward. But is it a sane decision?

Edit: OK, I found out how to handle custom URL.

That:

yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed action="open -gj blarney://spaceChanged/\${YABAI_SPACE_ID}/\${YABAI_RECENT_SPACE_ID}"
yabai -m signal --add event=window_title_changed action="open -gj blarney://windowTitleChanged/\${YABAI_WINDOW_ID}"
yabai -m signal --add event=window_focused action="open -gj blarney://windowFocused/\${YABAI_WINDOW_ID}"

works like a charme. I don't need the debug output and no more status polling.
