Hi, I have just started using this app today and ran into the same problem.

I was recording my whole screen (1920 x 1080 @ 29 FPS) and after one or two minutes it started running terribly slow, I dropped to tty 1, logged in and ran top. top showed Kazam at first position consuming 120% of my cpu(a dual core Intel i5), 5.7 physical memory and over 9 GB of virtual memory.

Tested again while monitoring it from a terminal and it reaches nearly 2 GB physical and over 4 Gb virtual in seconds both for WebM and h264.

To me it seems the issue is that the recorded data is not stored in disk periodically but rather only once the recording ends, though I haven't checked the source so I'm not sure.
