Hello,
We have not observed noticeable lag during normal office use of the new driver.
However, we have tasks pending to improve the performance (we use automated software to detect actual frame rate, not humans).
It might be useful if you could describe what the computer is doing and if there is anything abnormal as it may be something else going wrong with the driver.

As you get 8.0 from Windows Update, you must be in the Windows Insiders program (WIP) and use the new Windows 10.
There are fundamental changes coming in the new Windows 10. One of these change allows native DisplayLink USB graphics support in the OS.
The other one is an upgrade of the graphics drivers expected mid-August making them incompatible with 7.9. Should you run 7.9 when these changes arrive, you will be hit with at best a rain of blue screens and at worse an unusable computer. That's why Microsoft put 8.0 as critical on the WIP. All 7.9 versions will be unavailable for Windows 10 builds above 10586.

Kind regards,
Alban
