I must not be the only person who experiences this. When scrolling down or up there is a noticeable frame-rate drop. What is intended to be smooth ends up been jerky and my processor tries to figure out how to move the high resolution image while keeping the robot on the side in the same place.
I am using a 2017 macOS Catalina with a 2.5GHz i7 processor (no graphics card). I do not experience an issue like this on Math or Physics Stack Exchange.
Although I have tagged this with bug, it really is intended just the be a discussion on what can be done about the frame-rate drop. The background looks pretty, but I do not think it is worth the cost in frame-rate for some users. Is there any work which has already been started to solve this issue?
