System Info and Version

My graphics card is apart of the AMD branding, as well as my cpu.

I am using the latest version of Hyprland-git from the AUR.

The file below contains the output of hyprctl systeminfo -c sysinfo.txt

Description

The cursor becomes really unusable when above 50%-60% cpu usage, this is bad for lowend hardware. I have experienced cursor stuttering and other nonsense while navigating around my environment; it would great if this could be mitigated fast.

This has been happening to me ever since I tried Hyprland back in July, so the Vers should correlate across versions since then.

This does not happen on other WMs that I've worked with like DWM.

This happens consistently even without eye candy like: blur, shadows, etc, Though I normally don't use them.

Another thing to note that I found odd is that it feels like Hyprlands performance worsens over-time, like 4hr uptime or so it starts to quake in it's boots, this could be be me imagining things.

How to reproduce

Limit your cpu to around 4 cores amount of max usage and start to navigate between applications like: Firefox, discord, etc.
