@calindan2013 try watching 4K60p on YouTube using this optimized version of mutter and compare to KDE. Try the same with resizing windows and scrolling in a browser. Video editing in KDE (using Resolve) is a lagfest as well.

Reporting back. Definitely not as bad as before, but there are still ocassional frame drops here and there in the overview when switching windows. So slight visual lag. I think this is a consequence of the fact that there is still performance degradation over time in the GNOME code, even with all those patches applied.

One more issue would be the displacement of the virtual desktop column in the Overview each time i use the hot corner to access it. As soon as i move the mouse around the column goes back in place.

GTX 1080 / Ryzen 5 2600X / 1440p 144Hz - confirmed as working now. Animations and the whole experience seems much faster than before, so this is good. No more lag anywhere so far. It's great but definitely not faster than KDE like some other guy said below me.

Ahh, I missed the party. I am trying both packages now. If I did not say anything afterwards, it means the packages are really awesome.

@glorious-yellow Right now using a NVIDIA 1080 Ti. But honestly using Gnome (Mutter) stock it feels more like using an integrated Intel GPU from the early 2000's in power saving mode lol.
With this build it actually feels like having a 1080 Ti. :) Really can't wait for Gnome 3.32 with these patches (hopefully) being released.
Never had such a smooth desktop experience on Linux using another desktop environment (Budgie, XFCE, Cinnamon, KDE (which is the worst, tearing everywhere, or lots of lag with forced pipeline composition)).

@deezid Just curious: What graphics card are you using right now?
deezid commented on 2019-01-27 21:47 (UTC) (edited on 2019-01-27 21:49 (UTC) by deezid)
@Terence will do tomorrow. Right now working in Davinci Resolve Studio which works even better than before now. Thanks so much (and of course to Daniel van Vugt as well). I have to say it even feels more responsive than Windows 10 now, even in high CPU loads (created by resolve building new thumbnails e.g.) everything still feels like butter.
Terence commented on 2019-01-27 21:40 (UTC)
@deezid Sure, please do that, thanks. I'm currently testing without the revert patch.
deezid commented on 2019-01-27 21:34 (UTC)
@Terence going to test this build on my Intel GPU as well and see if there are any drawbacks using revert patch in this build. If not I'm going to tell Daniel van Vugt about my experiences with this build on both platforms.
