On a fresh arch installation I installed nvidia driver, xorg and cinnamon desktop environment.
So far everything is working fine, except the lock screen aka cinnamon-screensaver.
As soon as the screensaver comes up the system starts to process all inputs insanely slow. After entering the password it takes about 1min for the characters to start appearing on the input field.
Switching to a different tty (ctrl-alt-f2) is not affected.
After closing cinnamon-screensaver everything is back to normal.
dmesg shows nothing of interest.
Any ideas on how to fix that problem? Or where to start looking?
Thanks in advance

I can really only think of a few things:
- I would check if the latest version of the nvidia driver is installed(nvidia-smi if I remember correctly)
- Make sure that the Xorg configuration file is correctly setup and the driver for your card is being used. You should be able to check the logs for anything useful.(etc/X11/xorg.conf)
- Try Disabling any thrid parties screensavers and check again for anything that might impact the performance.
- Check for any bugs with the Desktop Enviroment or attempt to reinstall it.
- Check if anything else is going on with your system htop/top.
