Rasmus: I think other people have reported performance problems with the Activities overview already. Maybe you should join bug 1698792 to discuss that one. I think upstream Gnome bugzilla has reports of it too. Let's keep this one about gnome-shell's CPU usage while Firefox is running. It's impo

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

This bug is probably a bit out of date now. I don't see problems as bad any more. Rasmus: Please test again with the latest firefox (I think the newer versions ~57 or so are much more efficient). And if you can, also test Ubuntu 18.04: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ Everyone else:

It appears the high CPU of gnome-shell with totem on Wayland at least is due to the totem app window redrawing at 60Hz seemingly only on Wayland (bug 1698282). When this happens, the compositor will have to upload (copy) the window texture from CPU to GPU 60 times per second, which is CPU-intensive

Yeah I noticed too; gnome-shell is surprisingly inefficient. The good news is that v3.25 aims to make things more efficient, so that's something to look forward to. Just a note: The exact CPU usage will depend on your CPU model and what apps you're running (not just the Gnome version). I experien

Also note: Xwayland is using high CPU because you're running Firefox. Firefox is using high CPU because, well, it's Firefox. So you can ignore those two. ** Summary changed: - High CPU usage in gnome-shell around 70% + High CPU usage in gnome-shell ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) S
