Chrome + hardware acceleration after resume causes unusable system with Nvidia

[bendikro]

After resuming from a suspend, the Ubuntu UI lags so much the system is not usable. However, this happens only if chrome is running (or is started if not already running) and hardware acceleration is enabled in chrome.
I've tried both GNOME Shell and Unity with the same result. ssh into the host works fine while the UI is unusable, showing excessive CPU usage by Xorg, gnome-shell and chrome processes.

I tried disable the NVIDIA drivers to test with nouveau, but then the screen will not turn on after resume.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-life on April 29, 2021.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
