Works for me! You need to restart (at least GNOME Shell) if you haven't already.
I noted it may not work very well on X11, so maybe try Wayland to see if it's smooth there?

Does the package work with GNOME 42? I installed it and I don't see any improvement but also some more slugginess. Something is not right as I tried triple buffering on Ubuntu before arch and it was working fine. Is there something I'm doing wrong other than installing this and removing mutter?
Thanks you for this patch! Unfortunately, I have crashing issues on wakeup! It seems that it got fixed for some, but it's not the case for me. I have an Intel HD 5500 and I'm on Wayland.
Thanks! The performance of Gnome improves very well!
Hi JockeTF, I am on Intel and Wayland too and can confirm that the updated patch works great, no crash on wakeup anymore. So again a huge thank you for spending your time and effort in this! What is still missing is multi-monitor support on Wayland, but this is not a backporting issue, it just hasn't been fixed in the mr1441 patch yet.
I've pushed the fixes since it solved my Wayland issues. Things are looking pretty smooth with Intel on Wayland now! Yell at me if this introduces any problems for anyone.
This ist great news, thank you so much! I'll take a closer look at this tomorrow and will give you instant feedback.
I've added a few of the more recent commits to the gnome-41-stability branch over at GitHub. This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but you may want to try it out to see if it improves things. I also pushed up most rebases of !1441 to a fork over at GNOME's GitLab. The one I based the patch on is mr1441-210924.
There are some additional commits I'm in the process of adding. They didn't solve my Wayland issue, but could potentially solve your crashing issues. Since I can't push branches here I'll add them elsewhere (GitLab or GitHub) soonish to see if they fix the issue for you. If they do I'll push them here.
Thanks a lot for your effort JockeTF! I would be happy to contribute additional patches, however my knowledge is limited, so I need time diving into this.

I'm happy to report that !1441 has been merged!
This package will no longer be needed for GNOME 48.
