Slow #3042
Comments
You've configured wezterm to use CPU based rendering which is not as fast as GPU rendering. Please open the debug overlay (CTRL-SHIFT-L) and type in:
and share the output here. |
I have start changing the configuration hoping that it would help. I found #2756 and was pretty sure I am switching to the GPU rendering. here is the output wezterm.gui.enumerate_gpus() [

] This is Legion Lenovo gamer notebook which doesn't have proper support for Nvidia, so I have set in the bios to use the embeded graphics card instead of the gamers one. But how the rendering is related to the app switching? The delay becomes bigger when do alt-tab switching - when the wezterm is focused and visible it is fast. |
both of those available options are Cpu based renderers and will be slow, especially when the screen area is large. If you can configure your system to use your Gpu instead, you will experience improved performance. I would also suggest trying a nightly build to see if some other performance improvements make a difference to your workflow. |
When it is a fresh run, the alt-tab works fast and there is no lag. |
I'm going to lock this issue because it has been closed for 30 days ⏳. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues.

Describe the bug
Hello,
I start wezterm.
It works nice. I can switch firefox - wezterm - whatever - wezterm instantly.
After of 5-10min of work with the wezterm the switching becomes very slow.
I can't and I don't want to close my work in the wezterm so the switching becomes insane slow. I press alt-tab, then nothing hapend and after 10 sec the wezterm apears on the screen.
I am not sure if the full screen was helping on that.
To Reproduce
just work with wezterm and some other program.
try to switch between the screens.
Configuration
Expected Behavior
To have instant switching
