GPU usage

[letkan]

Moving windows around or even just the mouse is not smooth and I noticed that it has to do with high usage of the GPU, kind of random. Sometimes just moving the cursor can jump the GPU to 100%.

Unrelated, right-click in Firefox doesn't bring up the menu

hey thanks for reporting the bug,

about Firefox, will check if i can reproduce

about the gpu, would be nice if you could share some more informations on your system:

• gpu used
• if any other software like waybar or any background manager is running

and yes, I use waybar

I just noticed your commit..

@letkan if you can test it, this PR #91 has some fixes for popups and performance optimisations

This definitely behaves better now. Although periodically, without any input, the GPU jumps to 100% for like a second, almost at fixed intervals. Weird..

Just noticed that if I play some video in the browser what I described above doesn't happen, the GPU is high but stable

@letkan when you have time you can try again, i pushed some changes to optimise the rendering and gpu work

I cloned feat/wlr-virtual-pointer and the only change is that now the CPU stays at minimum ~26% (one core runs continuously at 100) with no interaction, the GPU behaves the same
