Chrome on Linux suffers from this too. The issues are standard for all naive immediate GUI libs:

- constant repainting (while literally nothing changes) -> constant CPU load

- some libs can skip repaints but have no concept of damage area

- bad handling of high-dpi (which also can change dynamically)

- constant repainting behaves even worse on laptops which announce 180 Hz refresh interval, which means that it drains the battery 3 times faster than 60 Hz
