UsbAsp-flash VS platform-espressif32

AsProgrammer from nofeletru's GitHub A CH341A compatible programming software. I'm using V2.0.4 from nefeletru's GitHub page, which includes the necessary driver for the CH341A programmer.

When it finally did arrive, I was able to use a program called AsProgrammer to use the CH341a flash programmer to read the contents of the flash chip. Here are some things I noticed about using this tool:

If you want, you can also copy the board definition file https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/blob/develop/boards/esp32-s3-devkitc-1.json and create a custom one in your own repo (if it differs much from the esp32-s3-devkitc-1).

On the "Platforms" tab of the quick access toolbar, I can click on "platforms" (again) and see that I have version 6.0.1 of the Espressif 32 platform instaled. If I look at the release info, it seems that support for IDF v5.0 was added in Espressif 32 version 6.0.0.

This is probably the simplest next step before fully transitioning to ESP-IDF and dumping PlatformIO. Here's the PlatformIO example repo that does just this. https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/tree/develop/examples/espidf-arduino-blink

Sounds like this might be a similar issue to this problem I ran into with the S3 and Platform.io?

Yes this seemed to be it. I don't know what is the difference between "development platform" and "development framework" (IDF), but all I know is that the change that made thinfs slower happened in the former. And I know that because I reverted the version used inside Platform.io. Other than that, I have no idea what is happening in the background. I just use PlatformIO on VSC and have pretty basic programming skills.
