The above bug seems to be solved or at least mitigated a bit. With just having firefox up the CPU usage of gnome-shell is between 2-5%.
Gnome shell is still much less performant than Unity though, by moving windows, open Activities or dragging the mouse over the dock its CPU usage quickly jumps to 20%. But that is probably things that should have their own bugs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696305 Title: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696305/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
