Check how much VRAM you have allocated in EmulationStation and also how much GPU memory you have reserved for the PI3.

@mitu BAH I forgot to reply.
You are on to something because the lag is horrible as if resources are thrashed. I cannot seem to find the commands to get the vRAM and GPU. What are they?

Allocated VRAM is an EmulationStation option. For the GPU memory allocation, check the /boot/config.txt file (see also the docs on Memory Split).

Here is all I see in the /boot/config.txt, but they are remed out.

#gpu_mem_256=128
#gpu_mem_512=256
#gpu_mem_1024=256

I can not navigate in the UI to get to the ES options

I tried to remove the # from the entries but get access denied over scp. From the console, config.txt is empty using the vi.

On another note, I fried one of my Piv3 so got a v4. I read that it handles the gpu differently, but I still have the same exact symptoms with the image running on the new pi.
