[SOLVED] Animation lag after GNOME 3.24 Update

After updating to GNOME 3.24 yesterday my graphical performance has been noticeably choppy, particularly when opening the activities overview and switching between workspaces, scrolling in Chromium also causes framerate drops. I am using the Nvidia proprietary driver on a GTX 960 and this issue affects both Wayland and Xorg. Any suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated.

I thought no one would write about it.

1. Download 2 files to one dir (PKGBUILD revert.patch)
2. Run in terminal

makepkg -i

3. Restart GNOME Shell --- Alt+F2 + r

Do you still see the lags?

I filed an upstream bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781835 and mentioned that reverting the patch helps.
I also mentioned this to a gnome developer a month ago. He basically just agreed that this is not a good thing.
I asked a nvidia developer as well. He said it is due to the overhead of excessive xlib calls that the function introduces.

Re: [SOLVED] Animation lag after GNOME 3.24 Update

@thetazerlaser would you mind posting in the upstream report that revert.patch helped? More people increases the chance Gnome developers may take a look.
