Thanks marmuta for the investigation work, is there any chance you could open an upstream cairo bug about the issues you found? It feels weird that the cpu is several order of magnitude than an i3 still

This leads to a useability issue when starting the dash for the first time, e.g. as the dash opens and an empty onboard frame is rendered but not usable for 45 seconds. I would prefer to have the keyboard opened when the session starts and pay the price then, rather than randomly irritating the user the first time he/she tries to do input.
