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.

A package for gnome-shell performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-performance/

It's on fire, fixing...

@Saren I'm working on the new version :)

fatal: bad revision 'd29a1c4a'

Commenting out lines 64 and 65 fixed it.

@jeckhack oops nice catch! Fixing in next package. I hope it does not cause issues...

I think you apply 216 twice in PKGBUILD. First time in cherry pick, then in git apply -3

Saren commented on 2018-11-03 09:16 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow just added that, thanks.

Found a very important patch:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/216

This completely fixes the slowdown over time issue

wscsprint3r commented on 2018-10-24 17:03 (UTC)

This is a true game changer!

tannisroot commented on 2018-10-19 20:25 (UTC)

Ok. What about removing !168 then? It introduces very heavy stutter when dragging windows if you have a mouse with 1000hz polling rate.

glorious-yellow commented on 2018-10-18 21:02 (UTC)

@tannisroot According to the comments, MR 265 introduces some bugs. We should wait until it's stabilized before adding it.
