Default does DisplayLink performance vary by dock or only by device?

Hi,

Quick question from someone thats new to DisplayPort.

I have multiple devices running through DisplayPort Docks;
1- 2019 Intel 16" MBP
2- 2021 M1 16" MBP
3- 2022 M2 13" MBA
4- 2020 Razer 15" Gaming Laptop

I'm also using two docks;
1- Dell D6000
2- Lenovo ThinkPad Hybrid Dock

To save me a ton of experimentation, my question is;
Will my performance vary
a) by device
I'm assuming the answer is yes as due to the screen recording functionality, my CPU will be utilised. Does the application multi-thread? Performance through my 2019 MBP and windows laptop is pretty terrible, but it seems* to be better through my M2.
*anecdotally
b) by dock
I'm trying to decide which dock to use as my "daily driver". the Lenovo has better connectivity - does it even matter?

Any tips for optimisation? I'm running a 1440p 34" ultrawide and a 27" in portrait mode and getting a ton of ghosting.

thanks,
Matt
