TLP + GNOME Gestures in Wayland (alien.top)

I have a Framework 13 running Ubuntu 23.04. I have been using TLP and it really improved battery life. I followed the original (and updated) Optimization Guide. Everything works great, except...

When I'm on battery mode, the "change workspace" gesture in Gnome+Wayland becomes _painfully slow_. Using the arrow keys to change workspaces behaves normally, but specifically the three-fingered swipe to change workspaces is stuttery and slow. This only happens with TLP enabled and on battery. I've modified Graphics, PCIe, and Processor settings to no avail; I have even created exceptions for the ven:id in USB settings. It seems like the system requirements to perform that animation requires too much scaling for a single thread!

Any suggested workarounds? Anyone else experiencing this? It isn't a big deal, just a bummer.

Thanks!

Have you tried changing CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_BAT from 30 to 100? That setting would throttle your CPU to 30% of the turbo clock speed, which is around 1.3GHz. You should also try upgrading your operating system. GNOME 45 and its packages may improve performance, along with the newer graphics drivers in the 23.10 repositories.
