Hi, I recently posted on the opensuse list as well about performance issues I'm seeing after updating to Leap 15.2. So what I'm seeing which is either part of the problem or just a symptom: xfwm4 is spiking (at least) the cpu load quite often. During that time my whole desktop is totally sluggish. As said I don't know if it's part of the root cause or just that something else affects xfwm4 heavily as well. When looking at top I typically see Firefox, Thunderbird, sometimes rocket.chat and xfwm4 fighting for the top position. While I expect to large applications I do really not expect the Xfce window manager regularly on the very top. Any ideas?

Hm, "my" 15.2 users are not complaining, but maybe I do have all compositing stuff disabled since forever though. All on Thinkpad 420 with intel graphics.

Not really, but disabling compositing might be worth a try. I just notice that I have compositing enabled on my machine (but with tumbleweed), just all the shadow effects disabled.

so some time later I have updates. At least I can share my experience. The desktop where I notice this issue is running 24x7 with me being logged in and all my typical applications running. After a reboot it works quite OK for a while (at least a few days or even a week or slightly longer). At some point it gets sluggish. Since in the meantime there have been some updates a reboot makes sense anyway and so I have a friendly reminder to do so. Still this is a "regression" to 15.1 and still not totally sure which component but Xfce seems to be involved.
