The Lite Mode is a performance mode that trades visual quality and features for better performance on resource-constrained devices. The Lite mode does the following things:

1. Reduces Canvas Resolution: Sets DPR to 1 regardless of device (no retina/high-DPI rendering)
2. Slows Down Updates: Makes UI updates 5x less frequent (time *= 5)
3. Disables Minimap: Completely disables minimap rendering and setup
4. Reduces Scaling Complexity: Simplifies canvas scaling calculations

### Changes due to Lite Mode:

Visual Changes:
1. Lower Resolution: Circuit elements appear less crisp on high-DPI displays
2. No Minimap: The navigation minimap is hidden
3. Slower Responsiveness: UI updates happen less frequently

When to use Lite mode:
1. Low-end devices with limited graphics performance
2. Battery saving on mobile devices
3. Older computers that struggle with high-resolution rendering
4. Large circuits where performance becomes an issue
