Bug Description

After the most recent upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS which also upgraded the nvidia drivers, Xorg and GNOME are showing some intermittent slow downs. Xfce4 and XWayland seem fine.

The most notable application showing the slow down is my own application (mrv2), but after a while I can also see the slow down happening on a basic gnome-terminal, where my typing is too fast for the showing of the letters.

You can download my application from github at:
       https://github.com/ggarra13/mrv2/releases/download/v1.1.1/mrv2-v1.1.1-Linux-amd64.deb

To reproduce the error:
       $ dpkg -i mrv2-v1.1.1-Linux-amd64.deb
       $ mrv2
       (Once it opens, press F10)
       (It will open a Preferences window with a tree on the left, and options on the right).
       (Switching options in the tree should be immediate, but on my machine, I get a lag of half
        a second before the options and tree redraw)

The problem is intermittent. I can reproduce the issue on my program upon login, but it see the gnome terminal issue after a while of using it.

Here is my graphic card details:
