This appears to be specific to nvidia drivers. My other machine running radeon via wayland is slow AF when in fullscreen but the image keeps updating.
I tried to bisect this but I got as far back as 0.215 which is the oldest release I am able to get to compile and it also exhibits the problem. This would seem to indicate that the problem is with the enviroment change and not a mame change.
This does not happen under wayland, only under x11. Which is convenient, because opengl does not work on wayland with nvidia binary drivers.
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/8469 does not fix this. It did not say it would, but it we could have been lucky.
This seems fixed as of 510.47.03 nvidia driver. From 510.39.01 changelog [1]:
Worked around an issue that prevented some games from flipping (and therefore taking advantage of G-SYNC and G-SYNC Compatible monitors) on certain desktops such as GNOME.

I have just noticed that at least 0.228 and 0.229 will stop updating fullscreen window after a second or so when using vulkan backend on Linux:
The music keeps playing and switching to window with alt-enter resumes the video updates. Switching back to fullscreen repeats the issue. With opengl backend everything works as expected. Is this a known problem? Is there any other info I can provide? Thanks.
