GUI logic is included in "root.tick.textures"

The root.tick.textures textures profiler section is not ended until the "mouse" section starts. But in between, there is a lot of GUI logic (for example, this.currentScreen.handleInput(), this.currentScreen.updateScreen()), so if a GUI is lagging, it would show up as root.tick.textures rather than root.tick.gui:

In Minecraft.runTick:

this.mcProfiler.endStartSection("textures");

if (this.world != null)
{
 this.renderEngine.tick();
}

// Section should end here

if (this.currentScreen == null && this.player != null)
{
 if (this.player.getHealth() <= 0.0F && !(this.currentScreen instanceof GuiGameOver))
 {
 this.displayGuiScreen((GuiScreen)null);
 }
// ... much more GUI logic
