Also note that Ubuntu stopped using gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
several years ago. It is only still used in 20.04.
We recommend Ubuntu 22.04 instead: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop

I experienced this issue when I upgraded 18.04 -> 20.04 as well. In my
case, any file updates to any locations regardless of ~/Desktop will
blink all file icons in Desktop. Also, any updates to a file will have
some latency to update a file.
Just for letting you know my workaround: disable
I think bug 1872796 and bug 1832812 cover the performance issues
already. If there are any more then please open new bugs for them.

This bug is still present in Focal. It seems to have lost focus in
upstream. In Focal it is much harder to remove the extension as it is
even more tightly linked in as a mandatory dependency for a number of
major system components. The only way to remove it is by deleting or
renaming its files.
This issue is in progress with the upstream developers. If you would
like to contribute then the page is:

"Just get rid of the desktop icons" is not a good response to "The
desktop icons flash every time I change anything that affects the
desktop."
I want the desktop icons. I just don't want them to flash. And they
didn't flash before the GNOME developers thought it was a good idea to
strip them out
I removed desktop icons. Clean a nice desktop and no more 5 seconds save
on every file.

Thanks for pointing out that test. I will remember to suggest it to
people in future in other CPU-related bugs.

Hi Jonathon,
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I really only meant the uninstall as a temporary
test, to provide more information on what issues this extension was
causing. For me it also solved a number of seemingly unrelated issues
mostly to do with excessive cpu usage.

I hardly think enough research into this has been done for it to be
obvious that this is a duplicate.
There are literally eight app indicator icons in my system tray right
now that disappear when I uninstall gnome-shell-extension-appindicator

I think this bug may well be a duplicate of #1825623. Would anyone
object if I marked it as such.

I worked round this issue by uninstalling gnome-shell-extension-
appindicator. This fixed this issue and also a number of high cpu usage
issues I was seeing. The cpu issues were sometimes severe enough to also
expose weaknesses in the compositor.
I suggest that anyone who is getting problems with
