Comment # 126 on bug 1112824 from Wolfgang Rosenauer

I've lost track about this issue during the last weeks but I'm still facing
Gnome performance which is really hard to work with on my laptop also with
latest TW snapshot.

I'm supposed to run Gnome under Xorg. At least that is what my session selector
says but on the other hand when I look at the process list I see Xwayland
running and not Xorg. (Looks like a bug to me)

My system is a Core-i7-7500 (Quad) but the Gnome shell performance is really
hard to work with. All window/desktop actions (moving windows, switches
workspaces etc) are quite laggy and not smooth at all. This started in October
and only got better a bit. Compared to before it's really slow.
Considering switching to Xfce or something for the hope it'll be better.
