adding mixer with VU meters slows down the whole program

[solitprojects]

Bug Description

Since upgrade to [2.3.5] , when I add the "mixer" on screen, the program reacts very slow. Even when it's not playing anything. Every click has a delay of at least several seconds, and it gets worse when you start playing

Are there others facing the same issue?

Version

2.3.5

OS

macOS Ventura 13.3.1a

Could you please run Mixxx from the command line and add the --disableVuMeterGL argument?

Does it make any difference?

this seems to solve it indeed, it's way better

Could you try the following development build of #10989: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/suites/12873892391/artifacts/694473745

Does this build show the same slowness?

@solitprojects So your options (while waiting for Mixxx 2.4-beta ;) are

• revert to the version you used previously (you may encounter severe bugs that have already been fixed in 2.3.5, also downgrading may cause issues in your library)
• keep Mixxx 2.3.5 and create a custom launcher with the (yet undocumented) --disableVuMeterGL argument added (I'm not into macOS, looks like a shell script is the easiest way)
