OK it looks like the increase in CPU in activities overview is just expected. Mutter/Gnome Shell is fairly inefficient to start with so switching to a mode where it has to render more widgets and more detail of course incurs higher CPU.
I think a holistic approach is required. Not just fixing this bug, but to reduce CPU usage in all scenarios such that a 60% increase doesn't hurt so much. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757088 Title: Activities overview causes increased CPU in Wayland & Xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1757088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
