The main latencies in TI-OS (from memory) boil down to actual computation (graphing, solving equations, etc), the really slow LED, and those occasional slowdowns (GC).
Of course computation was slow on the slow, under-featured CPU, but that was to be expected. My car’s touchscreen system doesn’t do anything that is computationally complex — a computer from the late 90s could run a media player and do work at the same time, and my car’s CPU is faster.
The LCD is what it is. I’m talking about latency too when the pixels start trying to change. Anything with a CRT avoided this problem.
And GC is a fair criticism. But my car’s touchscreen is always slow. Oh, and it also often. takes a minute or two to start working when I get on the car.
