Performance

What's being evaluated right now:

- Youtube video playback on browser (namely Chrome since it's cross-platform so I can compare with Linux and Windows)
-- AV1
-- VP9
-- H264
- GUI screen tearing on rapid dragging left and right (to detect for screen tearing)
- Hardware acceleration for Video Playback
- GUI smooth-ness during scrolling on large websites
- I/O performance, namely USB gaming mouse
- Multiple apps launching and being used at the same time
- Temperature of device on high load and low load
- Battery performance on high load and low load
- WiFi performance
- BT performance
- Docker performance
- File transfer performance
- Loading multiple tabs on Chrome websites performance
Stress testing mainly.
