Cinnamon --replace memory leak on 22.3

[harsh bough]

When I have leave my mint system idle over a prolonged amount of time (4+ hrs) it starts stuttering (on a 5600x cpu and 32 gigs of ram and a dedicated 6600xt gpu). It is easily "fixable" by f2 + r reloading the desktop environment. I am not sure what is happening but the cinnamon --replace is taking up a whole CPU thread killing performance significantly

1. Leave PC on
2. return after 5 hours
3. watch stuttering frames

Expected behavior: An insignificant performance difference from an idle system
Actual behavior: Cinnamon taking 99% of the CPU

memory leak is when a process uses too much memory due to it not being freed after allocation, not when cpu usage is at 99%

I dub this compute fart then XD. Personally i didn't encounter this problem yet but it might be worth looking into as it's not the first time i heard of it

It is possible that, when system runs out from memory, it would start to actively use swap and, subsequently, cpu. However, there's not enough info in initial report to see what is going on.

Anyway, here's my laptop running latest Mint with Cinnamon for 18 hours now

I have no issues on my system. Granted I have different CPU, and graphics card, both Intel.

I would suggest checking update manager, if there aren't any new drivers for your graphics card.
