It is completely custom code for a DIY project. Adding more features is usually a priority over making the UI smoother - especially if you are literally the only one using it.

Well, the UI is apparently based on this project https://lvgl.io/ which seems like its intended for this sort of purpose, so I think the question of sluggishness is valid.
