Post-update resource usage is up - KDE

[nish]

Tagging this for KDE. New here so please keep in mind if I am clumsy tagging, etc.

Modest older laptop, Dell Inspiron 15 5566. Will place some outputs for specs below. I got through yesterday’s update unscathed thanks to reading these posts while still downloading and the pacman contrib thing, boots fine nothing seems changed except…KDE

KDE seems a little bit unstable and resource hungry than before the update. kwin-wayland especially I never saw all the time in top 3 processes. Plasma shell, xwayland, systemd journal all seem to be using more and in top 3. I have had some graphics tearing etc. that I was not experiencing before update. When first installed a few weeks ago, I had been pleasantly surprised how lightweight plasma is these days so I am not sure where to look for this change in usage. I installed nothing that wasn’t part of the update and have made no config changes.

I hope I don’t mess up posting the following.

[HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Formatting differences Discourse – this forum’s engine – uses Markdown to format its posts, and removes “unnecessary” whitespace. Terminal commands often produce output formatted so that they are better readable by the user, taking advantage of the monospaced font used. Programming code often rely on indentation to make it more readable. Using preformatting in Markdown Markdown includes a pattern to provide preformatting when necessary. You only need to put the part to f…
