Title:
Performance regression in KDE Plasma 6.1.5 after upgrading to Kubuntu
24.10
Status in kwin package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Hey everybody,
I'm suspecting this is some form of bug but I'm not sure what the
cause is. Also, I rarely report bugs so please let me know if I
handled this correctly and if you need more information.
After upgrading from Kubuntu 24.04 to 24.10 I'm seeing a severe
performance regression when multitasking. My system seems to be
swapping way more often than before. Even when just switching between
the same Firefox window and another window, it is often taking up to
ten seconds or more for the window to be responsive again. Almost
every time the Firefox window I'm switching to is desaturated, which
almost never happened in Kubuntu 24.04.
I'm one of those people who keeps a lot of browser tabs and windows
open. I'm using Firefox and I usually have about 60 windows open. That
was still manageable under 24.04 with ZSWAP. With 24.10 it is
bordering on unusable. I haven't increased the number of windows or
tabs after upgrading to 24.10 significantly. The lagginess of 24.10
has been apparent from the first day of using 24.10.
Also, the mouse cursor now lags very often. When I hover over the
Firefox icon in the taskbar and the window preview pops up, the system
immediately starts swapping + compressing/decompressing as is apparent
in the system monitor. The same thing happens when I click on the
Firefox icon and I get an overview of all the opened Firefox windows.
For some reason the system then also starts to swap and work like
crazy, although it already displays all window previews. To me it
seems like the previews are being refreshed or something?
It always feels like the system is running circles around itself.
Memory pages that have just been used don't seem to stay in memory.
I've used vm.swappiness = 60 per default with 24.04. To try to solve
the performance issues in 24.10 I've decreased vm.swappiness to 10 but
this didn't help.
As you can see in the added graphs from munin, something happened with
memory consumption and swapping after upgrading to 24.10.
