Can't speak for this project, but you simply can't get good performance at high resolutions (4k+) using CPU rendering.

  I suppose "good performance" is subjective. I run VS Code on a 4k (well, 3840-by-2160) monitor attached to a ThinkPad T440, and the performance is acceptable. The CPU does get busier, but not by much. Though, the biggest limitation is that the framerate is only 30Hz since the HDMI version is older on that laptop, so maybe that has something to do with it as well.

    VS Code certainly uses GPU accelerated rendering, it's an Electron app after all. Though yes only needing to hit 30 FPS to not be the bottleneck in your case does make things a bit moot.

  You could get good performance with CPU rendering on machines several orders of magnitude slower than what we had today to screens that certainly did not have as many orders of magnitude fewer pixels.
