For scrolling/full repaints the mac port is significantly faster,
similar to repaint speed of cursor moves. With the patch, Emacs 28's
full repaint when taking about 3/5s of my screen takes about 400ms
whereas it's about 16.7ms (60fps) with mac port. Emacs 27 seems to
paint even faster than that.

Also, I misstated my screen's specs, it's not a 4k display it's a 5k2k
screen with a native resolution of 5120 x 2160. So, it's as tall as
4k, but wider. I don't generally use emacs full width, however.

Ah, good eye. Mine is blurry too. Could it be creating a layer that is
the size of hidpi scaled window but not the actual pixel size of the
window? That would explain the blur if it was then drawn to a larger
pixel-wise window.

Do you know the cause of the glitching? Or is that still unclear? I
wonder if we could take some time to walk through it together, maybe
something will stand out?

Thanks,
