** Description changed:
- I've just tried the Nvidia-560 driver for the first time and am seeing
- very poor performance in Wayland sessions. Just tapping the Super key I
- can see animations stuttering.
+ On a desktop with a single Nvidia GPU and single monitor, desktop
+ performance is poor in Wayland sessions.
- In 'NVIDIA Settings' it looks like the reason might be a lack of power
- profiles ("Performance Levels"). Those are only reported correctly if I
- log into Xorg. And indeed performance in Xorg sessions is much higher,
- more like what I would expect.
-
- P.S. Performance on this machine is much worse in upstream GNOME without
- triple buffering. So triple buffering is doing its job.
+ The main culprit seems to be that all rendering gets deferred until
+ meta_drm_buffer_gbm_new_lock_front by the Nvidia driver, which blocks
+ the main loop at a time we are not optimised to handle blocking.
