Input lag

Context: My freebie tablet, for example, Google Docs worked great last summer where I rolled off ~90 pages of a fiction story; but it’s been getting progressively slower to the point where the OS pops up “all isn’t responding” messages several times at startup; and there’s no cool new functionality to explain the change…oh, and in print preview mode, a 1GHz 4 core chip is no longer able to keep up with a regular speed typist – what the hell?

While that’s depressingly true, I should point out that the same setup worked fine last summer. It’s Docs that has changed. And since there’s no cache of prior versions, I can’t revert. And since there’s no sensible or useful change log, I can’t think “oh, it’s because…”.

Why upgrade? Because I keep hoping (perhaps irrationally) that the app will one day gain the same sort of abilities as the website version regarding features like setting up styles, different left/right headers and footers, the ability to create different sections (think chapters). It’s really rather bizarre that the official app running “native” is so inferior to…a website.

Maybe this is really slow? https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/10/material-redesign-editors-android.html
