most likely dupe of bug #313016 are you using the native graphiccsystem or no compositing? what also hits you on window activation is the animated transition which is iirc disabled w/o compositing or on the native graphicssystem (now) As far as I know, I'm using default settings for compositing and did no changes between KDE versions. My settings under Effects/Advanced: Compositing type : OpenGL Qt graphics system : Raster Keep window thumbnails: never Scale method: smooth [x] Suspend desctop effects ... [x] Use OpenGL 2 Shaders [x] Use VSync [ ] Enable Color correction I also keep all effects and animations disabled. fyi, you can just post the output of "qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation" The animations in plastik are "hardcoded" - but it's QML. I assume you don't have this problem with the laptop decoration or oxygen or dekorator themes, qtcurve, bespin, skulpture, eventually smaragd? So basically it's an issue of (atm mostly) Plastik. /usr/share/apps/kwin/decorations/kwin4_decoration_qml_plastik/contents/ui/main.qml Set animationDuration's to "0" and restart kwin. OK, this just got a lot weirder - I ran "qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation" as you suggested and to my surprise it showed me that "Compositing is not active", although System Settings/Desktop Effects/Advanced clearly shows that it is set to OpenGL/Raster ! In fact, I could not switch it to XRender before because it gave me an error message about being unable to start some effects. After a bit of searching, I edited ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc where I found "Enabled=false" under the [Compositing] section and changed it to true. After KDE restart, qdbus now shows compositing working, and the Qt graphics system has switched to "native". After changing that to "Raster" I'm now able to use Plastik theme without issues! In short - the performance issue was indeed caused by the disabled compositing, respective Qt graphics system being set to native. For some reason however, the System Settings GUI incorrectly assured me that the compositing was enabled!

Regardless of the configuration, compositing can (iff supported) be de/activated any time. > After a bit of searching, I edited ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc where I found > "Enabled=false" This is also on the primary tab of the compositing settings. > the System Settings GUI incorrectly assured me that the > compositing was enabled! Misconception - the "settings" (esp. on the advanced page) don't hint anything about the current state (at least not in the English version) and even the "Enabled" key only sets whether to "Enable desktop effects at startup" (the setting on the first page) There's actually no explicit comment on whether compositing is enabled (implicitly, you won't get animations, translucency and shadows etc. w/o it) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 313016 *** Created attachment 79014 [details]
