Yo the lag is horrendous on my surface pro 3. Can't get any drawing done at all. Please include in your development process. (I also use Autodesk Sketchbook, and there's no lag whatsoever. So it definitely has nothing to do with my processor)

No it certainly doens't comefrom your CPU but your GPU ( wich is an Intel HD Embedded wit your CPU ).
Black Ink uses the GPU intensively (even almost exclusively) and that's why it will be difficult to improve this kind of slowdown.
I still add a +1 to your request
