I can confirm. It is extremely choppy and resource hungry for what it does. Since they use Flutter, the UI is rendered using 119 canvas elements. The same thing could be implemented using the web platform (no flutter and no rust) with better results.

I was thinking the same thing- I've seen many mobile performant, web based tuners before, it's a very common personal project. If the intention was to make a web based tuner from the start, Flutter and Rust was a big step down from just using HTML and JS.

I know the trend on HN is to upvote any project with Rust in the title, and to hate on native JS, but projects like this that have to use a bunch of tooling to eventually compile down to JS would have almost always been better just using JS in the first place IMO.
