I don't have too much experience in GUIs and I've been looking at iced and gpui recently for a new GUI application.

iced has some nice looking apps written using it, but they all seem "laggy" on my high-end Linux box somehow. I'm wondering if this is a limitation of the immediate mode GUIs, or something related to my system, or an issue in the apps?

For example, drag-and-drops or selecting text with mouse lag behind the mouse cursor.

I'm wondering if I'm not holding it right somehow?

iced is not immediate mode

which apps are laggy? iced is fast AF. try running the game of life example on release and crank to max speed. there is literally no lag

could be something wrong with your GPU. join the Discord and we'll help you debug.

EDIT: I'm told you could be having vsync issues. try `ICED_PRESENT_MODE=immediate`
