Performance bottlenecks

I don't think that kind of "ctrl-z" lags is a pure js speed issue. I suspect something on the native side of the code isn't react fast as well. Selecting units basically is a process that works like this:

- JS code calls something "I want to select in that area"
- native code responds asynchronously with the new selection

So it may be possible that the 1st happens, but the 2nd is delayed.

Anyone else notice micro stuttering when zooming in and out? Basically when you transition from icons to units? I also notice fps drops when panning around which is odd.

More detail please. What are your graphics settings? Are you playing right now and the framerate is poor?

Start with all settings low/off except virtual texture.
Use Ctrl + P in games to check your framerate.
Use task manager, assuming u run Windows, to check CPU load (or RealTemp, check CPU temp too)
You have plenty of RAM and a new GPU, so arguably your CPU is the bottleneck. Four cores is better than two cores with hyperthreading for games. You obviously have a laptop though, which means you can't easily upgrade/replace your CPU.

I know that my cpu is the bottleneck, from the resource monitoring and stuff. Now I am trying to figure out if it possible to speed up the ui

Does supersampling in the settings use more of the gpu, or more or the cpu?
