Gnome gets slower over time #290

Closed aearly closed 2 weeks ago

For many months, I had been experiencing my window manager getting slower to open new windows over time. After a reboot, things would be snappy, but after several days running it could take several seconds to open a new window of any app (even things like save/open dialogs).

After disabling various extensions I narrowed it down to Workspace Matrix. I think there is some sort of memory leak that causes window placement to get slower over time.

We had similar reports in the past (#209, #193, #31). Do any of these look familiar to what you experience?

It's not related to workspace switching or the popup -- that always stays fast and responsive. Only the creation of new windows becomes slow.

I think #291 might help.

Please test if #291 fixed the issue and reopen this if not.
