And I'd argue that the 100ms number was never correct as a general measure of instantaneous feedback, only for one-off inputs, not continuous interaction. Imagine your car's steering wheel lagging by 100ms. Or your mouse cursor.

Had that not been possible with the current technology stack, would you have considered overhauling Obsidian more intensely (ex: rewrite in another language) to achieve that?
