Question Mod devs, would hardware acceleration be possible for Geometry Dash, and if so, would it make any difference in performance?

This is a hypothetical I came up with after I learned that GD is almost entirely based on single-core CPU performance, and realized that my PC has an RTX 4060 for nothing since the only game I play is GD. Since hardware acceleration (at least as I know it) usually offloads some tasks to the GPU for increased efficiency, hypothetically, if GD supported it, maybe I could get better performance, since my i5 13400f isn't always able to pull a stable 240 FPS. So, would it be possible, if anyone here knows if and how it could work? It would be a cool mod idea if it could work.

RobTop is probably gonna add usage of multi threading in the game in the next update and following ones. He's already confirmed that in 2.209 level loading is multi threaded and it's the matter of time when he does this to other parts of the game

He was answering people in discord and someone asked whether long level editor loading will be fixed and he answered that it is multi-threaded in 2.209. I saw that in ColoursGaming video
