It seems that, indeed, there are two distinct issues:
1) is the one described by TS; as long as the notification is open, everything
stutters. I had this issue as well, and solved it by offloading vsync to the
nvidia driver, as referenced in my previous post.
2) is described in 443696 and 436902; stutters and cpu spikes appear only
during the appearance and disappearance of a notification.

Now that I pay attention to it, it seems that my system is also affected by
(2). However, in my humble opinion, it's is much less severe than (1). I can
live with it until wayland is ready for daily use. Hopefully that will
magically make the issue go away.

Sure,

I thought the topic was created by TS, but I'll post the link anyways.

I managed to work around the problem by means of the solution proposed here,
number 2 (Disabling KWIN Vsync and force full composition pipeline):
https://www.reddit.com/r/EndeavourOS/comments/p8b2kf/for_those_that_have_stutterlags_problems_with_kde/
I already reported it in the relevant nvidia forums topic, but I'm also posting
it here since disabling vsync in KWin and forcing it to be offloaded to the
nvidia driver seems to fix the issue. Perhaps there's something unforeseen
going on in KWin and something can be done in KWin to fix/workaround the issue
(perhaps some nvidia-specific hacks).

I found that latte-dock still stutters, disabling tooltips solved that one for
me. I was hoping this magically solved it as well, but apparently not.

[kwin] [Bug 423319] kWin crashed when using hot corner to Present Windows

2020-07-25 Thread Carlo Meijer
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423319

--- Comment #7 from Carlo Meijer  ---
Created attachment 130400
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=130400&action=edit
New crash information added by DrKonqi

kwin_x11 (5.19.3) using Qt 5.14.2

- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Move mouse to hot corner, and keep it moving in the corner direction so that
windows are placed in the present position and back. Crashes after several
rounds.

- Custom settings of the application:
I'm using the GLES renderer (KWIN_COMPOSE=O2ES), in case it matters
