Laggy pi

[1a2a3a]

Hi, is anyone currently using mmm Google photo and mmm calendarext3 and can confirm with me that using pi4 or pi5, you are not facing any issue with sluggishness and stuttering lag with the calendar marquee animation and photo transition?

I’m on a pi3b+ and it lags like in the 90s whereby images and text transit as though they are appearing frame by frame rather than a smooth motion. Am wondering if it’s worth upgrade the pi to get better results.

Not sure if sd card as well? I’m using a Samsung 32gb evo plus with the number 1 inside a U (not sure what that means tho)

Thanks.

@1a2a3a I’m pretty sure that marquee is the culprit. it’s really a high CPU process. and it’s new

@sdetweil i turned off marquee but my google photo transition is still laggy.
does your pi4 transit well with google photo?

[sdetweil]

@1a2a3a I don’t see lag on my pi4

@sdetweil perfect! Gona pre order a pi5 now.
Just to confirm, you are running pi4 with mmm google photo and mmm calext3 and smooth transition ya?

@1a2a3a I don’t use EXT3, but have used Google photos without lag on my pi4s
