You think collapsing a comment quickly would be difficult in x86_64 assembly?
I would expect 1000's of frames of opens/closes per second. Probably an order or two more. The LCD's data bandwidth and our retina's sensitivity would be decisive bottlenecks at far slower speeds.
TLDR: CPUs, that are not getting slower, are not the reason newer software implementations often get slower.
Collapsing a comment is uneconomic in assembly. That's why we have higher level languages and other abstractions.
I think you missed the point of what I'm saying.
