Public bug reported:
I've lately been noticing a substantial lag that consumes an entire core
on my CPU (CPU% 1.00+). It's most noticeable with the cursor, where it
starts "jumping" around instead of moving smoothly across the screen.
It seems to stem from `gnome-shell` but I'm not sure how to further
debug this and find the root cause. I've included a couple screenshots
as well as debug information from `ubuntu-bug gnome-shell`.
If I reboot, it tends to go away. It only seems to happen after 4-5
hours of uptime.
Please let me know how to further debug this problem or if any other
information is needed.
