I'm in my early 40s and feel like there are more fast performing GUI apps now than there ever were before. Windows 3 was not fast.

Incidentally, I'm on a beefy machine so JSPaint isn't lagging for me, but it does have a frame rate that makes the paint splatters far apart if you move fast. Is that what's happening to you, or is it actually lagging as in stalling longer than 30ms between splats?

It's been a while so I might be misremembering, but didn't the original MS Paint also do that?

Yes, I think so. It even does this on the newest Paint version on my Windows 10 machine.
