  • I’m a flutter dev, and I’ve seen testimonies from a former Windows 98 dev about limiting the number of redraws in the shell.

    There’s deffo extra overhead, but it’s not linear - 4k being 4 times as many pixels as 1080p doesn’t mean 4k the work to render after the first frame, as the browser/framework will cache certain layout elements.

    The initial layout is still expensive, though, so big tables will take longer, but that big table at high Res will probably be less chuggy when scrolling once loaded.
