My laptop is running modern hardware with NVME drive and has 64GB of RAM. Running Pop!_OS 22.04 with Gnome/Wayland.
When I launch the cosmic-store or cosmic-edit (for example) via command line or launcher, each takes about 25 seconds for its app window to load. Loading the Pop Shop in the same fashion takes less than 1 second.
I saw a few lines indicating files couldn’t be opened, and thought at first maybe my ulimit was set incorrectly, but there is plenty of headroom on my user (soft limit: 4096, hard limit: 1048576).
I do see a handful of logs that look questionable:

What could be causing the cosmic apps to load so slowly?
Ok, I’ve narrowed down the cause of slowdown slightly. It is when my laptop is on battery only that load time takes about 25 seconds. When plugged in (mains power), load time is < 1sec.
The only change I see in
journalctl -xefwhen switching between battery/mains power is as follows (first line battery, second line mains):May 22 23:45:35 rosie kernel: Dynamic Preempt: voluntary May 22 23:45:54 rosie kernel: Dynamic Preempt: fullEdit: I can also simulate the effect via
sudo tlp ac(fast load time) andsudo tlp bat(slow load time).That’s very strange. Did you update today?
No, I haven’t updated packages in 3 or 4 weeks.
This may be fixed now, but at the same time, I’d wait a day before updating cosmic-comp because xwayland’s currently broken while we need to update xwayland to the latest version for explicit sync support.
FYI this is still an issue for me. Updated to cosmic-edit 0.1.0171599034722.04~f5238e1.
