Moving the cursor sinks performance

[Pyr0]

For some reason, moving the mouse causes performance to sink. I've tested it with multiple things, but even something as simple as this:

Code: Select all

transform Blink:
    linear 1.0 alpha 0.0
    linear 1.0 alpha 1.0
    repeat
    
image test = Solid("#ff0000",xsize = 300, ysize = 300, xalign = 0.5, yalign = 0.5)

label start:    
    show test at Blink
    $renpy.pause()

Shows that, if you flail the mouse around like a madman, the game will start moving at 2-4 frames per second. Any way to fix this?

I tested the above code on my laptop, and it works perfectly. I'm just confused, now, because my laptop is fairly old and unperformant (even just using chrome is fairly laggy) while my tower is a much, much better computer. Could it be an issue with drivers? Or with Ren'py settings?

It's possible? If you're using config.mouse, don't - it slows things down alot. Other than that, it's likely to be a computer problem.
