> it even has an option to limit the FPS, which solves the CPU load a bit, but at the same time results in sluggish input because the event handling is tied to the drawing frequency.

It seems like an issue of how it is implemented. I think Tracy does it well. It's party my fault since Dear ImGui lib and backends currently doesn't have an "official" way to tackle this, so everyone does their own sauce and it's easy to make a mistake. But I have zero doubt it is doable.

What they would lose is that they wouldn't exist in the first place or wouldn't be as full-featured. I'm surprised this is so hard to comprehend? In spite of its shortcomings, software like Dear ImGui is an enabler to make things exists and happen.
