Simply deleting the <child> block containing gremlin in a text editor
was enough to get gscreen-axis running w/o backplot.  This helped a lot
with CPU load, but the space that had contained the backplot and DRO was
completely gone.  It would be ideal if there was an easy way to have a
text-only DRO in place of the back-plot.  Is there an easy way to do this?
 
Even with the backplot disabled, I was still seeing 20% or so CPU usage
in gscreen, which is apparently due to the second screen?  I'm eagerly
awaiting your modifications to delete the second screen and remove the
back-plot.  I'll test again when the new configs are available.

Ok I pushed a second screen fix and a new gaxis_no_plot sample config.
you can find it in sim/gscreen/green_custom/gaxis_no_plot

This has the DRO still available.
It ends up the Gcode view uses up a fair amount of CPU cycles too.
tab to manual while running a gcode program lessens the load considerably.

Switching to less fancy DRO widget may lower it too.

This screen is still geared toward milling machines (it has spindle controls)
but that can be changed.
It is the smallest screen I have made but could be narrower yet if we specified
smaller DRO text.
Note that you can adjust the division between the auto tabs and the DRO by 
mouse click and drag the dividing line.

I'm sure this screen still needs tweaks - it was actually only proof of concept,
feel free to request changes/report bugs.

I remind you this is in master - you will have to merge master into what ever
you are using - UB3?

Cheers Chris
