** Description changed: [ Impact ] Indicators using (big) pixmap icons cause the shell to use a lot of CPU computation, which interfere with user experience - [ Test case ] - Install mega client from https://mega.nz/sync - Run it in ubuntu and ensure it doesn't block the UI while syncing - (but even opening/closing the app should be enough to trigger + (but even opening/closing the app should be enough to trigger Alternatively use this test tool: - https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/blob/master/indicator-test-tool/testTool.js + https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/blob/master/indicator-test-tool/testTool.js Launch it with `gjs` and select the 'Crazy icons updates' menu item: - - The shell should not hang + - The shell should not hang [ Regression potential ] Icon updates may be late or not apply immediately (or at all). + In general there has been a refactor of the iconCache, so internally it + may happen that we load an icon more times, or that there could be an + increase in RAM usage as per missing garbage collecting of it. + ---- - - I had similar issues when 20.04 was released, then it disappeared with an upgrade - but sadly it's back. I have short intermittent freezings of the OS. About every 15-30 seconds Ubunut freezes for a second or two. Eg when writing this description, the OS freezes every second word. When the freeze goes away the OS is snappy. I have tried switching between Wayland and Xorg - but the problem persists. If I write something when it freezes up the last chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhharacter will be replicated many times - like what happened jusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst now. This problem did not show up in ubuntu 18.04 through 19.10. Hope U can fix this soon - using my laptop in unbearable. + I had similar issues when 20.04 was released, then it disappeared with + an upgrade - but sadly it's back.
