Public bug reported:
Even when doing nothing but displaying a terminal screen with top
running gnome-shell uses 10% of a CPU. That seems excessive. I disabled
all extensions to try and make the test fair. Enabling the system
monitor extension increases the load to 13-14%. It seems that the gnome-
shell screen painting is highly CPU consuming even if screen updates are
infrequent (1 a second for all these cases).
