SUMMARY
In Wayland only there is massive display lag moving windows around. This is true on a single or multiple monitors.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install all available updates after 10/07/24
2. Log in using Wayland (no issues in x11)
3. Move windows around the screen

OBSERVED RESULT
Very noticeable lag moving windows to to point they tear in pieces and jump around

EXPECTED RESULT
Smooth, buttery motion

I reviewed 494382 and its very likely this is the same issue. Mine seems related to night light. 

What made this so confusing is it would be fine in the morning but NOT the evening! Right now its late morning and Im experiencing no issue, but night light hasnt activated yet. I turned it on manually and instant lag! For me at least, if I disable night light the issue is mostly if not totally fixed.
