Many layers vs less but more complex layers?

[adjourn]

Wondering if anyone has experimented with this, if there's any noticeable difference. Or people who are intimately familiar with the code base, can maybe tell by heart which path is easier on which parts of the system.

My blind guess based on the bits of information I've seen here and there is that number of layers mostly taxes CPU however I'm not sure where match & case for example get executed.

This came to my attention because my brick-sized GPU left the building and I'm currently running integrated GPU on my motherboard. I do notice the difference and struggle sometimes. This obviously made me think about possible struggles on mobile as well.

My layers are getting up there, touching 180 and not done yet.

Example:

1. Each place label has its own layer because they have different text size, color, etc
2. All place layers are on one layer and plenty of match & case are used to provide different styles

You could post a link to this discussion in slack to get more traction. I honestly am not sure there's a major difference between the two approaches as most of it is done on the CPU I believe...
