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.

@glorious-yellow Thanks for the report, it's updated. I guess we could do that but I wanted to let people try how it felt without the revert as ultimately all those performance patches are trying to fix what this commit made worse...

I believe we can conditionally apply revert.patch based on the graphics card.

pacman -Q nvidia && patch -Np1 -i ../revert.patch || true may work.

Commit hash for https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/399/commits changed again

@Terence, thanks. Will try!

Terence commented on 2019-01-30 13:44 (UTC)

@deezid it will not change anything, just a hash of a commit that changed due to a rebase probably ;) What you can do however is try the updated gnome-shell-performance with a patch that should improve the extension system (faster loading time for example).

deezid commented on 2019-01-30 13:40 (UTC)

Ugh, should I update or not? It has been running so well over the past few days. :D

sad to conclude this didnt resolve my issue, everything still laggy af. performance simply degrades fast after reboot.

deezid commented on 2019-01-28 18:34 (UTC)

@calindan2013 just tried latest kwin and it's indeed slower on my NVIDIA hardware. Even the overview animation as well as dragging windows isn't as smooth. Scrolling in Chrome is quite ok but can't keep up either. But 4K 60P playback in Chrome isn't smooth at all while with patched Mutter it's perfect - even 8K playback works flawlessly up to 30p.

Btw. using kwin my systemmonitor shows some CPU spikes while scrolling, with mutter there are basically none. 2D acceleration works fine with NVIDIA - if supported, when using my internal HD620 GPU everything feels slower in comparison.

calindan2013 commented on 2019-01-28 18:17 (UTC)

deezid never had any performance or animation or smoothness problem at all on KDE on any distro. as for app perfmance,last I checked 3D app and game benchmarks on Phoronix it was as good as on any of the other DEs. I don't know if that scrolling fix is possible on NVIDIA.

@Calindan2013 using these mutter patches (and evdev for mouse input) scrolling actually feels smoother in Chrome/Linux than it does in Chrome on Windows 10 (system-monitor indicates it's GPU accelerated). In KDE it's terrible though, regardless of the driver - even though every animation is smooth.

It doesn't really matter that much when app performance suffers and I can't even resize a window without constant repaintings - have to figure out if it's a QT or kwin problem though.

Still need to test this version of mutter using my Intel HD620.
