What happened to the performance improvements from the GNOME Performance Hackfest?
Were the performance improvements from the GNOME Performance Hackfest [0] ever done? It was stated in the related blog posts that GNOME Software was being changed so that it doesn't need to run the whole time. I was wondering if this work was ever completed ?
On a new Fedora 31 VM GNOME Software is the 2nd highest memory consumer with around 150-200MiB Resident memory and on typical use with other systems I see it around 300-500MiB. This is quite high considering most of the time I am not even using GNOME Software.
From my understanding the reason that GNOME Software keeps running in the background is for the shell provider and the update monitor ? So an improvement could be to keep only those running in memory all the time and have the GUI only loaded when visible.
If this is something that hasn't been completed, is this something contributors can work on ? What was the proposed solution discussed in the hackfest ? Which components does this affect ?
(Sorry this is more of a question than a bug, but if this hasn't been implemented this can turn into a bug tracking the issue).
