It keeps lagging, what can I do ?

Download pypy3. PyPy is actually a Just-In-Time compiler for python, making the app really faster.

• Install PyPy3: sudo pacman -S pypy3
• Enable pip support in PyPy3: pypy3 -m ensurepip
• Install modules: use commands in requirements, adding pypy3 -m in front of them
