Seems the rendering performance penalty of desktop-icons-ng on my machine is roughly 10%. That's not terrible and especially considering desktop-icons-ng is implemented as a full-screen GtkWindow (not a Clutter widget) in a separate process(!)
If you need better performance then just remove the extension via the 'Extensions' app. I'm really not sure what can be done about compositing it any faster though. Maybe more local redraws instead of global redraws? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872796 Title: gnome-shell animations are noticeably stuttery when the Ubuntu extensions are enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dash-to-dock/+bug/1872796/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
