Dissecting performance regression on Gnome with Gen4 Intel GM45



The subject performance regression:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77372

Hello everyone!

I need help with dissecting the performance regression i.e. identifying the faulty component. It's far beyond my skills to do it on my own. I can provide system information and command line outputs but I couldn't e.g. downgrade xserver to a specific version or do a selective update of only Gnome Shell, only graphics driver etc.


Regression summary:
1. Introduced between Fedora 18 and Fedora 19 releases. Clean Fedora 18 showing no performance problems, clean Fedora 19 being affected by the regression.
2. A system install (e.g. Fedora 19) affected by the regression shows no performance problems under KDE. The difference in desktop animation smoothness is striking. No need for telemetry.
3. A Gnome Shell developer (drago01) could not reproduce the bug on his Intel GM45 system.

I've done some F18 vs F19 vs Arch benchmarking / Gnome vs LXDE using Xonotic in windowed mode but the results were nowhere near as conclusive as #2.

I'd really appreciate a thorough assistance with this issue.

Regards,
rim
