I'd assume it's their State of the Art™ React® frontend that's hammering your L3 cache with constant updates.

  I'd like to assume that too, frankly. But I actually think it's slightly more complex. I've got CPU time to spare, as it is, and Factorio gets a solid 60 UPS. (I.e., the game simulation proceeds without lag¹.) It's the FPS that isn't there, and I think it's mostly constrained on GPU time…? But I'm really not entirely sure where the bottleneck is. (I also don't think the NVIDIA reports Discord as being on the GPU, too, so … IDK. 20 FPS is a stark, hard to miss difference.) ¹(usually…)

    There is probably some context switching overhead between Discord and whatever game at the GPU driver level.

  It's a lot more likely to be the overlay imho.

    Oh, huh, yeah. That sounds plausible.
