I see this is still not fixed. I just updated the driver on Linux and it still has high cpu load.
Even when the monitor is doing nothing, just displaying a still image, I already have 16%. Just moving the mouse on the monitor increases the load to 40-60%.
Watching Youtube increases it beyond 100% and the fan turns on.

I have a Lenovo with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz and 16 GB RAM with an USB-C Lenovo Docking Station

This is the same on Linux AND Windows! Just under Linux watching Youtube on anything connected to the Displaylink device sometimes freezes the Screen and I have to restart.
When I watch Youtube on the build in screen, I don't get 100% CPU nor a running fan.

Why is this so bad?
