That makes no sense to me. I've never noticed any performance difference whatsoever when disabling hardware acceleration for QtWebEngine in Sigil's preferences. No hardware acceleration is needed for rendering epubs with Sigil. The only thing disabling it could possibly affect in terms of performance is the Preview Window. And as mentioned, I've never witnessed any performance hit in that regard.
Something is very strange here if disabling that setting on modern hardware is affecting Sigil's overall performance.
Why is Sigil is using dedicated GPU RAM on your machine in the first place? It shouldn't need any of your GPU. Do you have something installed that forces programs to use dedicated GPU Ram? I've only ever seen Sigil use shared GPU Ram (with integrated GPUs).
Your Sigil experience is unlike any I've seen myself, or heard from other users.
