Optimize CPU usage during file transfers

- Increased select() timeout from 50ms to 200ms in tunnel forwarding threads
- Reduced polling frequency by 75% to minimize CPU overhead during data transfers
- Significantly improved efficiency for bulk file transfers while maintaining responsiveness
- Updated CHANGELOG.md and TODO.md with performance optimization details

+### Performance
+- **CPU Usage Optimization**: Significantly reduced CPU usage during file transfers
+  - Increased select() timeout from 50ms to 200ms in tunnel forwarding threads
+  - Reduced polling frequency by 75% to minimize CPU overhead during data transfers
+  - Maintained responsiveness while dramatically improving efficiency for bulk transfers

 ### Technical Details
 - **Import Management**: Added explicit `websockets` import to server.py for PyInstaller compatibility
 - **Async Task Cleanup**: Proper awaiting of cancelled asyncio tasks to prevent runtime warnings
 - **Global Variable Isolation**: Resolved PyInstaller global variable sharing limitations by using parameter passing
 - **Function Signature Compatibility**: Updated websocket handler to use keyword-only parameters for `functools.partial` binding
+- **I/O Efficiency**: Optimized select() polling intervals to balance responsiveness with CPU efficiency
