Run gnome-shell on multiple threads/cores on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS












0















I am having trouble running gnome-shell smoothly as whenever I try to do any kind of action from moving a window to showing/hiding all applications the gnome-shell process jumps to 100% CPU usage and starts lagging. This is probably due to my unusual hardware setup (I am running a many-core machine with Hyper-Threading disabled).

Could it be that since a single core is only rated at 1.3 GHz it does not have enough computing power to run gnome-shell?



Is it possible to run gnome-shell on multiple threads/cores?



(Also if it relevant my setup does not support hardware virtualization)



Thanks!

      Could it be that since a single core is only rated at 1.3 GHz it does not have enough computing power to run gnome-shell?



      Is it possible to run gnome-shell on multiple threads/cores?



      (Also if it relevant my setup does not support hardware virtualization)



      Thanks!

      I am having trouble running gnome-shell smoothly as whenever I try to do any kind of action from moving a window to showing/hiding all applications the gnome-shell process jumps to 100% CPU usage and starts lagging. This is probably due to my unusual hardware setup (I am running a many-core machine with Hyper-Threading disabled).



      Here is a system report:
