SUMMARY
***
Most of the animations in the overview are pretty laggy and feel like 20FPS, like switching to another window, going to another desktop, and even going into overview feels laggy and frames are dropped. CPU and GPU are not at their max and have a lot of unused resources.
CPU Usage: https://ibb.co/1nnT31N
GPU Usage: https://ibb.co/chtGrgV
i noticed a strange thing, gpu memory frequency randomly goes to 7 ghz im not sure why maybe it is a system monitor bug, i dont know if it can be related to this issue

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install NVidia Drivers from official nvidia website for linux platform
2. Enable Overview in desktop effects
3. Try pressing Meta + W to go into overview

OBSERVED RESULT
Lags and dropped frames

EXPECTED RESULT
Smooth animations like in every other app
