Please make full screen less laggy!

With the introduction of vector editing, costumes can now be resized without becoming less detailed. This is extremely helpful if you want to have a larger playing screen with more complex costumes. However, it is a known fact that full screen makes everything more laggy, and sometimes even unplayable. I think games would be more fun if there were more space on the screen. Such as addictinggames.com, where the playing screen is about twice the size of a Scratch screen.

what we need is multi-threading support.
i guess a option for a widescreen stage would be nice too

Hmmm, it does not lag for me? Can you post an example project?

full screen on intensive projects, or ones with a good number of vector sprites

Any larger project will work, and botcrusher has the right idea.

I think the reason it appears to lag is say a sprite moves 2 steps. In full screen, depending on your screen's resolution, it will actually move 4 or 5 pixels on the screen, which makes it look like its lagging but not really.

No it actually does lag.
Try using several effects at once (like swirl) and see what happens
