If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use mutter-performance-unstable

The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".

Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs to achieve maximum performance (!4015).

To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.

The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

@Terence, we have to reach out to Daniel van Vugt I guess since your revert.patch actually helps a lot keeping framerates and lag adequate while there's high CPU load.

deezid commented on 2019-01-31 10:16 (UTC)

@Calindan2013, these work smoothly here (meta left, right, up) strange. But then I only have a 60Hz screen. Only frame drops I notice are zooming in by clicking on the workspace switcher on the right, but according to van Vugt, this still has to be fixed and isn't necessary a Mutter but JS and Shell problem.

deezid commented on 2019-01-31 10:11 (UTC)

@Terence, without the revert.patch everything slows down when playing 4K videos in YouTube. It's not as bad as without 117 applied though. The version you have right now seems to everything right (for me at least lol)

calindan2013 commented on 2019-01-31 10:10 (UTC)

deezid: working in overview has random frame drops and slow downs, minimize/maximize/restore to screen etc.

deezid commented on 2019-01-31 10:07 (UTC)

@Terence, thanks for the explanation, compiling without the patch atm.

Terence commented on 2019-01-31 10:04 (UTC)

@deezid no problem and yes it is enabled by default. If you inspect the PKGBUILD at line 12 you can see there is a variable you can either enable or disable which controls if the patch is applied or not.

Terence commented on 2019-01-31 10:01 (UTC)

@calindan2013 Thanks for your insightful comment. I suggest you to simply stop trying it as you stated before 'the packages is useless.'

@Terence is revert.patch applied atm in latest PKGBUILD? Don't have any programming skills, sorry.

@calindan2013 what does slow mean? Dragging windows, scrolling in windows, or just the workplace switcher on the right while zooming in? Also more 30Hz slow (like stock 3.30 mutter) or "only" 60Hz (like the max on my 4K 27" anyway)

calindan2013 commented on 2019-01-31 09:57 (UTC)

still slow

deezid commented on 2019-01-31 09:55 (UTC)

@Terence, after applying the 3.30 117 patch, everything stays smooth without 168 applied. So problem is solved I guess? :)
