+- recording: improve ios session recording performance by avoiding redrawing after screen updates ([#166](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-ios/pull/166))
+  - `debouncerDelay` is changed from 500ms to 1s since the iOS screenshot has to be taken in the main thread and its more sensitive to performance issues
