Public bug reported:
The gnome-shell process memory usage grows to over 1.2 GB over time,
especially when using Google Chrome.
The system logs show the error: Key repeat discarded, Wayland compositor
doesn't seem to be processing events fast enough!
This happens when I type at the terminal, type in Chromeeeeee, etc.
Logging out and in again stops it, for a while.
It doesn't haaaaappen when using X11.
