Description Sauf 2024-03-08 11:57:26 UTC 
SUMMARY
I've been using KDE Plasma for the past six months. Overall, the animations look good, but every time I use the overview effect, I experience laggy animations and FPS drops. I've updated to KDE 6, and even with the new overview design, the issue persists.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login
2. Trigger overview effect using screen edge or META+W shortcut
3. lower FPS than normal and feeling laggy

OBSERVED RESULT
FPS drops notably than normal usage of plasma

EXPECTED RESULT
Overview desktop effect 144/60 fps and no fps drop/"feeling laggy"

effects/quickeffect: render qtquick scenes in the normal render pass

If they're rendered in prePaintScreen, the time needed to render them is not
accounted for in compositing scheduling, which may make KWin miss vblank
