It's a known problem in Fedora 28 Workstation in general, it's not
limited to ARM let alone the Raspberry Pi. There's a thread on the
desktop@ list where it's being discussed. There seems to have been a
number of things that have regressed in terms of both memory and cpu
usage.

Completely unrelated to the regressions in F-28 there's already a
planned hackfest in May to improve performance of gnome on constrained
devices so I would expect this to improve greatly in the F-29 cycle
with luck.

Could you try the F28 Beta RC1.1 image:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/28/Fedora-28-20180326.0/compose/Workstation/armhfp/images/Fedora-Workstation-armhfp-28_Beta-1.1-sda.raw.xz

If that doesnt work, please open a bug and let us know so others can add more 
details.

It works in qemu but I have yet to test on hardware. 

Thanks, 
Paul
