Is Scratch (and the mods) poorly optimized, has bad rendering, or anything? Because if so, something kind of explains why it would show up under the list of apps using significant energy.


I alternatively use a MacBook Pro (with the M3 Pro chip in it) to create games using TurboWarp and Gandi IDE. Both do use significant energy while Gandi IDE feels much slower than TurboWarp.
This is something that I'm kind of curious about because I do occasionally think about lower-end PCs running games extremely slowly or PC fans running fast and PCs heating up from playing a game. It does also depend on how big games are made with Scratch, but I am more curious about how Scratch was generally built.

MacBooks now normally drains the battery extremely slowly, but if I use Gandi IDE or TurboWarp building games, the batter drain speed slightly increases.

This was inspired by the intro cutscene from Mega Man X3.
