The optimization avoids blocking calls to gbm_surface_lock_front_buffer before rendering completes, reducing per-frame blocking time from milliseconds to microseconds on NVIDIA-580 drivers. Ubuntu plans to ship this patch even if it doesn't land in GNOME 50, continuing their tradition of carrying performance optimizations like triple buffering support. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
