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 from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.

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: 281 and 283 got updated again. Cherry-picking 283 complains about empty commit though...? Also is the revert still necessary? Don't notice any difference anymore if applied or not, which is good I think.

@deezid Thanks, updated.

@Terence 281 patches were updated https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/281

@deezid ok it seems windows dragging is somehow back to smoothness for me too (maybe because of 117?). Sure please do, thanks.

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

@Terence, dragging windows is fine with the patch (and all the others - skipping 168), even while playing 8K60p H265 or VP9 footage in mpv or vlc, or 8K30p in Chrome (no real hardware acceleration). I contacted him via mail, maybe I can put you in via CC?

Terence commented on 2019-01-31 10:24 (UTC)

@deezid this revert is actually not from me, I just try to gather up all those performance goodies ;) Is vanvugt on IRC/Matrix ? Have you tried dragging windows with video playing?

deezid commented on 2019-01-31 10:18 (UTC) (edited on 2019-01-31 10:21 (UTC) by deezid)

@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.
