Could be upstream, as Linphone is also affected by this.

This is incredibly strange, does the same happen if you were to use a flatpak?

Comment 3 Naxdy 2023-02-14 08:55:10 UTC

Yep, flatpak version exhibits the exact same behavior.

Comment 4 Naxdy 2023-02-16 11:21:52 UTC

The latest Mesa version (23.0.0-rc5) solves this problem. Now, if I start native KWeather with Mesa 23.0.0-rc5, no lag. Flatpak version (which runs on an older Mesa) still has this bug.

Closing as upstream issue.
