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.

I've narrowed it down. The reduced performance is caused by commit 13870745.

Without the patches, it slows down to 20-ish fps after 1-2 days of uptime, but the first day it's very smooth

I find that the optional performance patches reduce performance, on nvidia hardware while using a 144hz monitor.

@Leeo97one The reason for this, I have broke gnome twice for updating gnome-shell but not mutter. I could remove that dependency but please expect breakage when there is gnome-shell upgrade.

Is there a good reason to put gnome-shell=3.28.3 in the dependencies? It's not present in the original PKGBUILD. For exemple, this currently prevent me to update the gnome-shell package.

FYI, to use the specific commit from a different branch, in this case, add the following lines after cd $_pkgname inside prepare()

git remote add vanvugt <https://gitlab.gnome.org/vanvugt/mutter.git> || true
git fetch vanvugt
git cherry-pick c432f134

remove the < > from the .git url, it is auto added and I don't know why

I think you've noticed that revert.patch causes some weird timing issues, i.e. window maximize animation stutter, moving mouse pointer causes stutter in opengl etc. Try this patch. Coupled with revert.patch, it completely fixes all all performance problems for me.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/70/diffs?commit_id=c432f134ddbda6d40714bdc135ea138b31336852&view=parallel

(I think Debian uses it already, and Bionic too)

P.S. Beware, it causes high cpu load when moving mouse pointer around the screen, when coupled with revert.patch. At least it fixes jerkyness.

@m3thodic there were some code changes to mutter which are under review / not upstreamed. The code changes aim to improve performance, reduce memory use and reduce stutters. However, they are not proven to work and they are made for gnome 3.26.x/3.28.1, which may not be compatible with 3.28.2. TLDR ignore them
