Slow graphics after resume from suspend

[nozyczek]

When resume from suspend the desktop loads but Unity runs very slow.

It doesn't look like it is only affecting Launcher performance when suspend was used. I'm not sure if this would be a separate issue so decided to include it here for now. Here is some more details.

Fresh boot; suspend not used
At first all looks good. Launcher opens and closes quickly but after few minutes of regular use I can see performance degradation when using Launcher. Everything else still works good.

-->glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.245 FPS<= Launcher closed
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.798 FPS
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.002 FPS
298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.596 FPS

30 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.759 FPS
30 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.780 FPS
31 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.962 FPS
32 frames in 5.2 seconds = 6.172 FPS
31 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.984 FPS
30 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.788 FPS
105 frames in 5.0 seconds = 20.984 FPS<= pressing ESC; Launcher slowly closes
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.600 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.600 FPS
298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.595 FPS
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.001 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.996 FPS
293 frames in 5.0 seconds = 58.597 FPS
49 frames in 5.2 seconds = 9.438 FPS<= pressing “Super”; Launcher slowly opens
31 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.961 FPS
34 frames in 5.2 seconds = 6.529 FPS
30 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.791 FPS
29 frames in 5.2 seconds = 5.595 FPS
33 frames in 5.2 seconds = 6.305 FPS
105 frames in 5.0 seconds = 20.984 FPS<= pressing ESC; Launcher slowly closes
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.799 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.998 FPS
298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.599 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.996 FPS

Everything seems to be very slow when Launcher is open and comes back to normal after Launcher is closed.

Replacing compiz windows:
-->compiz --replace

-->glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
303 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.494 FPS<= Launcher closed
298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.598 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.797 FPS
291 frames in 5.0 seconds = 58.199 FPS<= pressing “Super”; Launcher quickly opens
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.799 FPS
298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.515 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.679 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.999 FPS<= pressing ESC; Launcher quickly closes
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.798 FPS
297 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.315 FPS
298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.395 FPS
297 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.399 FPS<= pressing “Super”; Launcher quickly opens
296 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.089 FPS

This will work good for some time (10 maybe 20 minutes) and will go back to degraded performance again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[nozyczek (nozyczek)]

Please don't hesitate to ask for any log files or other debug data. I will do my best to provide anything that is needed to help debugging and fixing this issue.
Thanks

[melrokz (melrockz)]

I face this issue too. Mouse pointer movements, launcher and workspace switcher are very slow.
There is a workaround, it allows me to work till the next suspend, lol:
Alt + F2
compiz --replace

[gutigen (gutigen)]

Same problem here. Tested with Nvidia drivers 290.40, 290.49, 290.53, 302.11 (and some latest X packages from xorg-edgers).
Every drivers was tested in fresh installation. Changing any settings (Composite and OpenGL changes etc) in CCSM helps for like 10seconds to maybe 2min of work in Unity3D, then I have alt+f2 and compiz --replace. Extremly annoying.
I'm not sure which logs should I provide, so if You guys need any, just tell me :)

[SalsaDoom (salsadoom)]

We spoke already on the forums about this issue a few weeks ago now. I was hoping to see some action on this bug. But yes, this bug hits me too and unfortunately renders the desktop unusable. I can generate logs on request as well :)

Actually, I'm a bit surprised to see Gutigen having this problem because I had suspected it was something with ATI's open source drivers. But if he is getting it with an nVidia it must actually be a bug in Unity. Interesting!

[gutigen (gutigen)]

It seems that turning off amd cool'n'quiet fixed both overtime performance degradation and low performance after bringing system back from suspend :)

[nozyczek (nozyczek)]

Gutigen,
I'm on Intel i7. What is your specs?

[gutigen (gutigen)]

@nozyczek
Phenom II x4 B55 and gts250

[nozyczek (nozyczek)]

How did you disable cool'n'quiet? BIOS?

[gutigen (gutigen)]

Yes. Intel has similar technology called SpeedStep.

[SalsaDoom (salsadoom)]

This seems like an extremely poor solution, but better than nothing if it works. I'm on an i7 too. The problem is that laptop bios's are often extremely gimpy and don't let you change even very basic features.

Yeah, ok, I checked. My bios doesn't have any such options in it at all. Its an Asus G73.

[SalsaDoom (salsadoom)]

Before anyone says, I'm aware of the other names it goes under and there just are no options at all in that BIOS so I cannot test this. It really peeves me when they gimp the BIOS like that. That said, this bug doesn't look like its getting fixed any time soon (no one is assigned and its undecided) so I'd love to have a usable workaround.

[gutigen (gutigen)]

After one day of work in Unity with cool'n'quiet turned off I've found that there is one more similar problem - Nvidia power mizer :/ Performance slow downs still happen (but not so often) unless I set Nvidia X Server Power Mizer to performance instead of adaptive.

Cool that it's finaly working properly, but my GPU and CPU temperatures are much higher now, which may be a problem in long time.

[nozyczek (nozyczek)]

Disabling SpeedStep in my case doesn't change anything. I see same degraded permanence.

[gutigen (gutigen)]

Are you using Intel HD gpu?

[nozyczek (nozyczek)]

No. I'm using Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 5770 GV-R577UD-1GD (Batmobile)

[SalsaDoom (salsadoom)]

This is tricky to nail down. I have two laptops, both i7's, one with an nVidia and the other with a Radeon Mobility 5870. The nVidia one doesn't have this issue, but the Radeon one does. But apparently it happens on Intel and nVidia too. But obviously not everyone has this issue since this has relatively few people reporting it. I wonder what the commonality we have here that others do not?

Looks like nozyczek is on a desktop machine, I'm on a laptop... nothing similar there. This install is pretty close to stock so I doubt its any particular software or configuration.. weird stuff.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Thanks everyone for your details on this. We have one person in the comments above clarifying that he has the problem with a Radeon GPU. Can anyone clarify if this happens with any other GPUs too, because 1) It doesn't happen over here on Intel or Nvidia, and 2) No one seems to have confirmed this on other GPUs/drivers.

If we narrow this down to the problematic component, then we will be able to fix it. Thanks for your help!

[Greg Michalec (greg-primate)]

I'm sure this is not news, but this bug persists in 12.10 beta. I have a radeon HD 5470 using the OS drivers.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This may be bug 887993 but we can't really be sure it's exactly the same without more clear evidence.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

nozyczek,

This might be caused by bug 914773. To confirm, please look at the memory usage of the compiz process before and after suspend. Are they dramatically different?

[Greg Michalec (greg-primate)]

vanvugt,

It doesn't appear to be a memory issue:

Before suspend:
2000 dameat 20 0 1448M 115M 43748 S 4.0 3.0 3:50.31 compiz

After suspend:
2000 dameat 20 0 1448M 115M 43748 S 7.0 3.0 3:52.53 compiz

This is on up-to-date 12.10 beta 2.

[Eduardox123 (ebeduardox06-deactivatedaccount)]

This affects Ubuntu 12.10 too

[Mohan K (nahom)]

New to ubuntu. installed 12.04 LTS on old Toshiba satellite a10-s129 laptop. It has intel graphics. I am experiencing the same problem when laptop resumes from suspend. The desktop is unusable. I have to power off and power on to reset. It has the following intel integrated graphics : (lspci output)

Incomplete as per comment #22. We need feedback from the original reporter, because performance bugs are always subjective.

If you don't want to wait for that, then please log your own bug.

[Wa Dev (wadev-h)]

Not that this could be much of help, but this bug also exists on Debian 8 and 9, with Nouveau as well as the binary driver, on gdm3 (Gnome 3) too.
So this is definitely not a
- radeon
- nvidia
- binary driver
- open source driver
- intel
- amd
- compiz
- gnome shell
- unity
problem.

As much as I can postulate, it might be a problem with kernel vs Xorg?
