It is optimized (all vector, parallelized tiled, dirty 
rectangles, mipmapped) but ultimately if you really want 60fps 
it's better to use the "raw" layer on top to redraw.
(typically: the background of a widget is in the PBR layer, and 
the curve and points on top are in the Raw layer and real-time 
updated. This caches the PBR layer output.).
Saving CPU is always useful for general audio stability, so GUI 
bottlenecks are quite important.

All in all: more GUI work, less filesize, larger memory usage 
(about 60mb more per instance), a look that can look 
approximately realistic, and when doing the UI it can feel like 
sculpting.
