hch12907 comments on What popular crates are available to build GUIs with widgets WITHOUT GPU?

For some reason, it seems popular for GUI crates to use the GPU. I just want to make simple widgets, for like a calculator.

No fancy graphics. I want it quite lightweight.

For some reason, popular GUI crates love to do everything through a GPU, which bumps up the memory / cpu use significantly.

8MB to 2.5MB is a huge drop. I wonder what caused the bloat - a crate?

Most likely the GPU one

Obviously.

I mean the specific crate that caused the bloat.
