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.

This one should be very useful too: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/265/commits

@Saren You should make a meta package that installs both mutter-781835-workaround and gnome-shell-performance

tannisroot commented on 2018-10-17 18:51 (UTC)

I suggest to add this patch too: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/216/commits

@tannisroot sorry, just got back home. Yes, I have a Logitech G502, if I recall right it has 1000Hz polling rate, why? Just for curiosity sake, I disconnected it, used the mouse pad from the laptop and suddenly the experience was a lot better, why is so?

tannisroot commented on 2018-10-14 21:24 (UTC)

@jc-aur do you happen to have a mouse with 1000hz polling rate?

@Vash63 @glorious-yellow I'm experiencing the same performance as @tannisroot, everything works buttery-smooth but moving windows around, especially when moving a window between monitors. I'm running a Nvidia GTX 980M with the latest driver, running on Xorg

glorious-yellow commented on 2018-10-14 19:32 (UTC)

@Vash63 Interesting, for me only maximize/minimize animations are laggy

Follow up to @tannisroot's comment, was debugging this with him in discord while we were testing this patch set. It seems to be commit 0feecfe8 causing the problems - after I commented that out the performance problems went away.

Specifically, the performance seemed to get very very bad if two large windows were on top of each other while you moved them. Single digit framerates.

Otherwise, this package is awesome and once I disabled that patch it's noticeably smoother than stock mutter.

I've tried this and everything is buttery smooth, except for moving windows around. When I move them it is very, very laggy. Any idea why? I have GTX 1070 and use 396.54.09 driver.

v-tin commented on 2018-10-14 14:09 (UTC)

@Saren After you did disabled the patch, it worked now. I mean, you really do see the difference in smoothness, responses.. nice work, much appreciated. :D
