Hello. Before sending PR on src.fedora i want to discuss first this
there. Here is few COPR repos with performance patches for 'mutter' and
'gnome-shell':
1. Repo with all performance patches (merged, closed, open) and with
huge regression on NVIDIA cards:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/pp3345/gnome-with-patches/
2. Repo with performance patches (merged, closed, open) but safe for
NVIDIA cards:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/atim/gnome-with-safe-patches/
3. Repo with performance patches only merged in master branch of GNOME
(safest):
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/atim/gnome-with-merged-patches/

I am using #2 with my NVIDIA GTX1060 and i have zero issues with it.
Difference is somewhat colossal for me and i can even imagine to go
back on stock GNOME experience now. :) But there is is still could be
some issues according to talks on GitLab and MR not merged yet with
good reasons. What i want to suggest and discuss is backport imto
current Fedora 30 and GNOME 3.32 upstream patches from #3. Some distros
like Pop!_OS already backported them and at least they already get
massive testing (i hope).
What do you think? GNOME performance is still what mostly annoys users
and just waiting for 3.34 is not a solution for many of them.
