Description jackieb 2016-12-31 03:35:03 UTC 
1. Opening new windows or large dialogs takes several seconds
2. Right-click menu in Chromium takes 2 s to appear
3. Launching Chromium loading 90 tabs:
- the computer is unresponsive for 6 minutes, used to be seconds
- clock stops or is erratic
- mouse movement not possible
(2-core hyper-threading top-of-the-line 2015 i5-5287U)

It’s snappy in X and somewhat snappier in GNOME 3.20

3.22.2

And Chromium crashes GNOME Terminal while it’s launching (?)
Comment 2 André Klapper 2017-01-01 01:24:22 UTC 
Which distribution is this about?
Comment 3 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:37:40 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
