I really hope that performance-related fixes could be backported to Ubuntu 20.04 so that I would not have to upgrade to 20.10. I have never upgraded to a non-LTS release since Trusty 14.04.

The mouse cursor moves very slow, dragging Windows is very slow, scrolling in Firefox is very laggy, so everything becomes unusable. The performance degradation applies in both displays even though fractional scaling is only applied in the second 4K monitor. Whereas in Wayland, the performance is much better in 4K resolution + fractional scaling in the second monitor, the mouse cursor and dragging windows are a lot smoother. I just sometimes notice a slight jump in the mouse cursor but only in the second monitor, the built-in monitor behaves normally.
