GNOME 3.8 stutters / lags
- by Robin
I recently installed Fedora 19 beta and noticed unusually laggy behaviour of GNOME Shell (3.8) on the Nouveau driver on a nVidia 9200GS (also with nVidia driver)
So I thought this could be related to Fedora so I installed Ubuntu 13.04 which comes with GNOME 3.6. Everything was buttery smooth as it has always been, but once I upgraded GNOME to 3.8, I experience the same laggy performance on Ubuntu as well. I'm talking about the animations, such as the window overview in activities,
openSUSE live image with 3.6 = smooth
Ubuntu 13.04 live image with 3.6 = smooth
Ubuntu 13.04 install with 3.6 = smooth
Ubuntu 13.04 install with 3.8 = laggy
Fedora live image with 3.8 = laggy
Fedora install with 3.8 = laggy
Does anyone have a clue what could be going on?
