Bug Description

Something is wrong with previous view
killing performance and responsiveness, etc.
The only obvious fix seems to be to skip it.

:))

# for example if you skip to previous
# a > b (previous) fix it with
# b > c > b

Edit:
if you skip to previous view with Shift key performance
doesn't degrade
https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfwm4/+bug/1837783

It's ignored at the moment, however it looks to be
significant performance, at least in terms
of idle power.

Thank you for your bug report, could you provide some details?

- what Ubuntu/nautilus version are you using?
- what sort of performance improvement are you speaking about (and how slow is it by default for you/with what content)
- could you maybe also report it upstream on network-manager:upstream

Like you started on a 1st page.
I believe window history is broken, I don't know how.

Just revisit history. :))

Just skip previous directly seems the rule, dunno what it is. :))

Think the only obvious so-called workaround is avoiding
getting into previous through whatever means possible.

This way you can keep it on the level. :-)

Simple rule is:
previous view ? skip to something else :))

Maybe previous view contains recursive function that keeps fighting for resources?

previous + previous is even faster

as is typing text if you keep two empty [ ] spaces before text, example "text__"

Scrolling is also affected by NumPad and CapsLock,
if you turn both of them on then scrolling is
faster than turning either of them on.

NUMPAD + CAPSLOCK -> FASTER THAN CAPSCLOCK

NUMPAD + CAPSLOCK -> FASTER THAN NUMPAD
