Picom compositor causing high CPU load #5

Open andreleblanc11 opened 8 months ago

andreleblanc11 commented 8 months ago

When using 'picom' compositor, it was noticed that the CPU load will get so high that it almost makes the whole system unusable.

When switching desktops and windows on BSPWM, its not uncommon for the load to spike over 80% (via 'htop' output)

'glxinfo -B shows no software renderer being used, which is good. This issue looks quite similar to https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/446, which is still open ☹️

This might be a 'wont fix' issue. May need to find a new compositor.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xcompmgr looks to be a good candidate for replacement
