If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use mutter-performance-unstable

The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".

Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.

To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.

The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

It appears only some animations are slow. The window maximize/resize animations are very laggy, but the panel and the notifications tray animate smoothly.

The shell still gradually gets slower, after about a day of usage.

@glorious-yellow @Saren commit 13870745 is closed because it will be replaced by an other one. Please remove it.

I've narrowed it down. The reduced performance is caused by commit 13870745.

Without the patches, it slows down to 20-ish fps after 1-2 days of uptime, but the first day it's very smooth

I find that the optional performance patches reduce performance, on nvidia hardware while using a 144hz monitor.

@Leeo97one The reason for this, I have broke gnome twice for updating gnome-shell but not mutter. I could remove that dependency but please expect breakage when there is gnome-shell upgrade.

Is there a good reason to put gnome-shell=3.28.3 in the dependencies? It's not present in the original PKGBUILD. For exemple, this currently prevent me to update the gnome-shell package.
