In the ~30 years I've used computers, they've become ~1,000,000 times faster. My daily experience with computers doesn't show it. There's someone out there who took the time to measure UI latency and has shown that, no only isn't it faster, it's actually slowed down. And yet, our hardware is 1,000,000 times faster... Edit: this is the latency project I was thinking about https://danluu.com/input-lag/ |

If you put a bit of load on the modern hardware things get dramatically worse. As if there is some excuse for it.
I had this thought long ago that the picture on the monitor could be stitched together from many different sources. You would have a box some place on the screen with an application or widget rendered in it by physically isolated hardware. An input area needs a font and a color scheme. The text should still be send to the central processor and/or to the active process but it can be send to the display stitcher simultaneously.
You could even type a text and have it encrypted without the rest of the computer learning what the words say.
I look at and click around KolibriOS one time, everything is so responsive it made me slightly angry.
