Hmm neither of these suggestiona seem to be applicable to me ๐ฅฒ.
As for the performance differenece, In the mean time I've tried out many different changes and now the load time difference seems to be proportional to the fps (around 10x difference for context(3060ti vs vega 8)).
Perhaps that's thanks to caching or something similar as I tested on a lightly used Fedora install.
I mean a person even having heard of the fediverse is miles better than doomscrolling twitter or reddit
