I experience bad performance with accelerated compositing mode on using WebkitGTK+ 2.22.5 on Fedora 29 with Intel Iris 540 (Skylake mobile) graphics. Turning it off makes pretty much everything faster, but particularly Facebook, which is nearly unusable with accelerated compositing on.
Also, when playing videos or scrolling through a site like Facebook, the laptop becomes hot and the fan goes full blast, which does not happen with accelerated compositing off. Would this bug be the issue I'm experiencing, or should I file a new bug about this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615871 Title: Poor performance with WebKit on yakkety with Intel modesetting enabled Status in WebKit: Fix Released Status in xf86-video-intel: Unknown Status in webkit2gtk package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in webkitgtk package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: https://tjaalton.wordpress.com/2016/07/23/intel-graphics-gen4-and- newer-now-defaults-to-modesetting-driver-on-x/ There are reports that WebKitGTK performance is much worse with Intel's modesetting driver (which was enabled a month ago for yakkety).
