What Happened?

Gala seems to be using lots of cpu, every 3-4 seconds it spikes from about 2-3% cpu usage, to 20%, along another 20% of the open app that it currently serves its window management services.

Additionally, the ram usage is high at 140 MB...

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install gnome-system-monitor (or any other app)
  2. launch the app
  3. notice the cpu usage going up and down every few seconds

Expected Behavior

To have lower cpu and ram usage when parked

OS Version

8.x (Early Access)

Session Type

Classic Session (X11, This is the default)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Here's the up and down graph of the cpu usage even when nothing else is loaded
