Bug Description
to get an embossed effect the keycap letters are drawn three times, slightly offset. This slows down the rendering and responsiveness particularly when resizing on low powered computers. It would be good to put the embossing effect in a preference so people can turn it off.

Onboard from 0.96.0 tries harder to only draw what's really necessary, ie. often only the pressed key and its neighbours. Is this with a fresh version or still 0.95.0?
Then there is key style "Flat", which was meant to be a fall-back on slow systems. There are no gradients or fake emboss effects to slow it down. In Preferences- >Themes- >Customize theme try setting the key style to Flat. Does that help?
