I'm searching for two words or expressions.
The first word or expression means a situation in which there are too many items displayed on the screen, so that they cause a burden on the user and their rendering causes a burden on the CPU.
The second word is a verb that I can use to describe the deletion or filtering of some of the items in order to prevent this situation.
In order to prevent
(word1)
, I need
to(word2)
the items before sending
them to the display module. I keep a
list ofun(word2)ed
items and
generate a list of(word2)ed
items from it.
Perhaps something having to do with spacing out?
(I can't use the verb "filter" because it has a different meaning in the domain, and it seems to me that it doesn't convey the meaning precisely enough.)

My suggestion:
word 1 - (visual) clutter
word 2 - you can use one of a number of words here, like select, sift, pick out, screen out, etc. but filter fits perfectly here and you will need to rephrase the sentence if you don't use it.
