Laggy UI on macOS

I am having issues with choppiness with UI elements in Max. I have a couple of videos to demonstrate.
In the first video I have Max's default dial and the max4live dial, then in the middle I have Ableton Live native dials, then finally I have my own C++ plugin in JUCE.
In the second video I have a native Ableton Live device (Meld) and a max4live device (LFO) side by side.
As you can see, it's as if the Max versions always have a slower refresh rate. I found a refresh rate setting in Max preferences which was set to 30fps by default, but increasing it doesn't seem to help. I can verify the setting does something since it gets appropriate choppier at lower fps settings.
EDIT: It isn't the quantisation either, since the same happens for sliders, with float outputs, and when shift-dragging
All this isn't a huge deal or anything, but I'm just wondering if this is a known issue or if I'm missing a setting to improve it.
I have an M3 macbook Air running macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, and I'm using Max 8.6.5 for arm64 mac
