Does top/htop show any process burning CPU?
I mask the colord service because I do not need it, and after upgrading
from Xfce 4.12 to Xfce 4.14, my session acquired an xiccd process that
sat burning 100% of one CPU (unhappy about not being able to contact
colord?). I disabled it from my Xfce session in Settings / Session and
Startup / Application Autostart, logged in and out, and the problem went
away. I do not save my sessions.
Other than needing to use ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to force all
Xfce GTK 3 elements to use the correct font size (the setting is ignored
for some elements), everything else works for me as well as in 4.12 and
performance is satisfactory.
Kind regards,
