I find high track and plugin counts the GUI seems to feel sluggish and a bit loose.

I don't think CPU is the limited factor.
It's been suggested some of the sluggishness in Reaper could be because of other things happening in the CPU GUI thread and not because of the graphics rendering itself. (Algorithmic inefficiencies, hard drive I/O...) That may be the case or not. If that is the case, then it would make sense for the Reaper developers to tackle those issues first, before starting a massive overhaul of how the graphics themselves are rendered, which might not in the end even help much. 3rd party plugins that use the CPU for their GUI of course wouldn't be helped at all by Reaper itself using the GPU.
