What is the enhancement/feature you would like to see?

So i dont know if this could be a user error but every time Portals reaload/refresh, for example when i connect an extra monitor the entire system get choppy and almost unresposive for a few seconds. I am wodering if there is a way to eliminate this with either settings or maybe some sort of HW acceleration/optimization. Since i am running 7800X3D and 7900 XTX so i should have the horspower and it can get quite annoying when i am trying to do gpu OC or tinker with my system. So my conclusion to HW acceleration is because its acting simillarly to disabling it for other programs. And if some sort of HW acceleration/optimization is the way to go is there any way i can help? Thanks.

I have the same problem, and it has been killing me. I have an RTX 4080 and Ryzen 5800x3d, but every time Portals opens or when I turn a monitor off/ on, the whole computer stumbles for a few seconds.

Yea this particular "bug" is just a workflow killer. I want to show my Downloads folder in a portal, but every time I download something from my browser it just lags the system for like 5 seconds. :-(

This is currently the most important issue that needs to be fixed IMO and I can just agree to what was said above.
For someone constantly switching between resolutions and monitor configurations, it's a real hassle.
I even have to rely on a batch script I put on a macro key to kind of workaround this.

@echo off
taskkill /IM Portals.exe /F
timeout 5
"X:\PathTo\Portals\Portals.exe"

This way the lag caused by Portals trying to fix itself doesn't stack with the lag caused by the resolution change.
