Second question: Is the lag caused by this basically because of sm5, or because of having not the best pc? Like can I compensate for it with overpowered hardware
Yes, if you screenshot without missing any notes there should not be an issue. The lag associated with taking screenshots comes from the fact that compressing the image is done in the game loop, rather than another thread. Depending on whether or not you take a PNG or JPG screenshot, it will take around 30-200+ milliseconds causing that very obvious lag spike. High end hardware like mine can reduce this, but because CPU power has stagnated over the past 10 years it doesn't make that much of a difference. Ex. Takes half the time to take the screen shot.
