Out of curiosity, what do you mean by UI lag? I've not used a massive amount of Edge but I don't remember it being particularly laggy?

Opening a new tab on Edge for me takes 2-3 seconds - and it feels like it freezes while the page loads. On the same machine Chrome and Firefox peform much better in this respect.

p.s. when the page loads in Edge its actually quite fast and scrolling feels smoother than other browsers - but the initial delay breaks the whole experience for me.

That's odd, using edge on my (low horsepower) work machine now, there doesn't appear to be any kind of delays in opening a tab or loading a page.

I'll admit that I don't actually like edge's scrolling very much, I think it's the [de/ac]celeration curves - but that's a purely preference thing.
