That video link will link you to another piano-MIDI player called "Piano From Above" or "PFA" for short. It's playing my favourite Black Midi Jingle Bells
It's got no lag, and I mean, it's played at 100% speed!
The notes appear more shaded and very simply designed, also the piano is simply designed.
The "aesthetic" concept is actually what is causing such severe lag in Synthesia, and as such, can be reduced in gameplay by implementing just focusing on the actual notes/scores, and then adding dynamic notes which are a simpler form, but you can tweak their colours each by setting a unique colour hue/saturation/value, and also adjust the background colour in-game just like that. A negative colour option (reverses colours and vice versa), would be another great idea!
Making the piano appear just as good, but having more of a square appearance, not like real graphics (takes up too much CPU), will also reduce lag, and allow the path for opening bigger MIDI files much, much easier. The loading time would be essentially, much quicker, if you simply revamped the graphics to be more simplistic, and not so aesthetic like.
Sheet music can be kept as well.
Background images can be kept too.
Melody/Rhythm/Song Recital practicing modes can be kept too.
Make Synthesia the way I'd like it, please!

(Food for thought: if PFA already does everything you're looking for... why not just use PFA?)
In any event, the Video Creator solves all these problems.
