FWIU there's really no backpressure mechanism for apps delegating compositing (via CoreAnimation / CALayers) to WindowServer which is the real problem IMO.

People don't really like apps that stutter.
And I could imagine SwiftUI only makes this worse, because it's quite easy to trigger tons of unnecessary redraws.
