UI is too slow for comfort

[SirClickALot]

Description

Files is definitely growing on me but I am put off by the slowness of the response of the UI compared to the core Windows File Explorer.

Is there anything I can adjust (hardware acceleration etc.) to try to speed things up?

Steps To Reproduce

There are none.

Files Version

3.8.0.0

Windows Version

10.0.22635.4655

Thank you for the feedback.

While our primary focus has been to boost both startup and execution experience & much lower crash rate, there's a certain limitation due to the UI framework we use, called WinUI3 (we're optimistic as it is evolving). As for the startup boosting, we're planning to introduce a new feature came from the application framework, called AoT compilation, which is expected to reduce startup time down to 50%. For the general information, please take a look at #4180.
