I like to make fun of Excel as much as the next guy and I realize my use of tabular data is very limited compared to the full abilities within the app, but what in the world in Excel needs to be rendered at 240fps?

It absolutely doesn’t need to be. This is an exercise in “why not”.

I get that, but I guess what I'm really asking is what is getting updated at 240fps? I could generate a black image and claim extremely HFR as no pixels are being updated. Maybe my not being a UI type to even know the intricacies of app UI refreshing, but 240fps to generate static text seems low to me as a bragging right

oh, scrolling around is buttery smooth.
