Default frame rate of app is painfully low, even with default settings of frame_rate = 60

As topic. I can run Processing’s Python mode with ease, but running a simple project that runs at 60fps on that Python mode, ported over to p5, runs at a painful frame rate. I’ve created a simple test app that just calculates half-a-second average frame rates, and I’m getting 52 fps with literally nothing drawn except for the frame rate counter. Adding in the drawing of this program, I’m getting 5-6 fps.

I swear this isn’t my computer, lmao. any help?

You can try out the “skia” renderer in p5py for 2D sketches. run(renderer='skia')
