Really considering giving up on the new wheel of monotony avatar

I almost never spin it, but because of the new avatar I tried spinning it today for the first time in a while, and wow now I remember why I don't usually bother.

The worst part isn't that it takes forever, but that it lags my laptop like crazy, it's absurd just how slow everything runs while it spins, and I can't even stick it fully in the background since it only spins if it's at least partially showing, so I have to have the window it's in peeking through the side to keep it spinning while I try to laggily do other things in another window on top of it partially covering it.

To add insult to injury, this is the spot it landed on:

but that's not the prize I received. Instead I got this:

With just how buggy and unpleasant it is, how do they expect us to do this every day (or even potentially twice a day)? I don't understand why they didn't attempt to fix it first before adding the new grease the wheel mechanic and avatar, it makes no sense. They could have taken the time they used making that quickstock update nobody asked for and instead fixed this wheel.

I guess I'm just frustrated and discouraged, I have a hard time seeing myself spinning this every day when it's just so finicky and disruptive for such a long time. Even if I wanted to shell out 200k every day to grease the wheel, nearly an hour of intense lag and having to be mindful to never cover up the window the wheel is running in every single day is a pretty big ask.
