Ray performance - disable hardware acceleration on Manjaro

[jack932]

Describe the bug Ray is slow. I am using xfce as a desktop environment. The behaviour is exactly the same when i started to use rambox (based on electron) and chromium. I was able to fix it in those cases by disabling the hardware acceleration in the settings of rambox and chromium.

For ray, i tried to find such a setting. I also tried opening the developer tools since I assume this is also an electron based application.

Versions 2.3.0

You can use composer show to get the version numbers of:

• spatie/ray package version: 1.36.2
• spatie/laravel-ray package version (if applicable): 1.32.2

PHP version: 8.2.2 Laravel version (if applicable): v9.52.0

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Execute the following code while ray is open: $arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]; foreach ($arr as $item) { ray($item); }
2. Ray shows the entries.
3. The App scrolls slowly, only every 1-2 seconds the scroll position moves when for example. Hovering over the context menu of ray is only slowly expanding the submenu.

Expected behavior Ray is faster.

Screenshots Please see the comment https://github.com/spatie/ray/issues/783#issuecomment-1468042120 where I added a video showing the issue.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux Manjaro
• Version 22.0.4

DISTRIB_ID=ManjaroLinux DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.0.4 DISTRIB_CODENAME=Sikaris DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Manjaro Linux"

Additional context For example the following commit shows an electron application which looks out for an environment variable and depending on that disables hardware acceleration: https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer/pull/134/files

Do you know any way to improve the performance so that i can use your great application?

I'm experiencing this as well. Depending on the size of the dump, it takes more than 1 minute to scroll the app. It's really frustrating.
