In the private message you sent with this thread, can you give two microprofiler dumps, one with Explorer open, and one with Explorer closed?

Thanks! It looks like this is an unfortunate increase in raw rendering time–no Luau code is being ran unless the Explorer is actively being used. I’ve forwarded this to the folks in charge of UI rendering.

Alright, thanks for that! :+1:

(annoying cap)

I have a theory that it’s related to one/two things:

  1. In your video, Explorer is the first PluginGui you have open.
  2. It’s also the first standalone PluginGui you have open–Studio has special code for rendering the first UI in that.

If you can confirm, do you get a similar frame drop when opening Toolbox with nothing else open? Additionally, can you check Tag Editor (which is a standalone plugin)?

I reported other ui windows in another post. So that theory does make sense, is properties not a pluginGui?
