Mouse not moving smoothly with DisplayLink on M1 MacBook Air

I am also experiencing major slowness on my MacBook with external monitor ever since I started using the new DisplayLink driver.

In my case, the slowness seem to start when I join a video conference. The problem seems most acute when I share my screen. I've tried both Google Meet and Zoom and I experience major slowness on both (to the point where I cannot even open a simple webpage while sharing screen).

When I disconnect my DisplayLink docking and share my MacBook's screen the slowness goes away.

I am wondering if there is a problem with the new driver that causes the MacBook to overheat and throttle.
