I very much appreciate the work you have done upstream. I have been trying to follow along, but I cannot contribute to this particular issue due to my skillset.

I'm now looking at a profile of gnome-shell running normally, next to a profile of the same but with the activities overview open. I can now see at least two causes of the higher CPU (and higher GPU load?) when the overview is open. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) ** Summary changed: - App Drawer Animation Causes Heavy CPU Spikes in Wayland & XOrg + Activities overview causes heavy CPU spikes in Wayland & XOrg ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Summary changed: - Activities overview causes heavy CPU spikes in Wayland & XOrg + Activities overview causes heavy CPU spikes in Wayland & Xorg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750197 Title: Activities overview causes heavy CPU spikes in Wayland & Xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1750197/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
