I tested all of these:
  * gnome-extensions disable tiling-assist...@ubuntu.com
  * gnome-extensions disable ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com
  * gnome-extensions disable d...@rastersoft.com
  * gnome-extensions disable ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com

and then had no effect on the performance on noble (yes they did disable
and I could see the visible changed in UI). I tried rebooting afterwards
with no improvement.

I did this:
  You can test that theory by comparing the windowed performance between jammy 
and noble.

noble performance is about equal with a maximized window and fullscreen
(140fps)

jammy performance is a bit lower maximized window than fullscreen
(162fps vs 177fps) but I see gnome-shell cpu usage at ~50% when when
maximized window (vs 0-1% in fullscreen)

so yeah definitely appears to be an issue with fullscreen direct scanout
not working and additionally just gnome performance regresssions with
windowed mode .

Title:
  Large Performance Regression in gnome-shell from Ubuntu Jammy to
  Ubuntu Noble

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Test system: ARM64 Ubuntu Jammy (gnome-shell 42.9-0ubuntu2) and Ubuntu Noble 
(gnome-shell 45.3-1ubuntu1)
  Default Ubuntu GNOME desktop environment used with no user added extensions.

  GPU driverstack identical between the two distros (eliminated as a variable).
  Linux kernel identical between distros (eliminated as a variable)
  CPU, GPU, and RAM clocks pinned to max.

  Test case: Minecraft Java Edition (shared drive with identical setup
  between Ubuntu versions). Fullscreen 1080p. Xorg display server.

  FPS (uncapped):
  Ubuntu Jammy: 177fps
  Ubuntu Noble: 140fps

  Observations:
  Ubuntu Jammy:
  gnome-shell process cpu% when camera is still: 0-1%
  gnome-shell process cpu% when camera is moving: 10-20%
  Memory Bandwidth (CPU and GPU shared): 40%

  Ubuntu Noble:
  gnome-shell process cpu% when camera is still: 20-55%
  gnome-shell process cpu% when camera is moving: 30-55%
  Memory Bandwidth (CPU and GPU shared): 50%

  In both cases GPU utilization is observed to be near 100%.

  So in summary, large performance regression regression which appears
  to be due to gnome-shell. There is nearly no gnome-shell cpu% usage on
  ubuntu jammy when there the camera is still (even with a fps graph
  drawn onscreen) in stark contrast to ubuntu noble.
