Pop Os! slowing down after reboot

I noticed that Pop Os! slowly loses responsiveness after reboot. This especially applies to browsers, such as Chrome or Edge.

I can't explain this behavior. I just know that it gets "fixed" by restarting the machine.

Does anyone have similar experience?

Does it improve if you log out rather than restart? Is there a difference in resource consumption over time?

A reboot helps. But after some hours it goes slower and slower.... I don't notice any increased memory usage.

Are there any warnings or errors that you see from journalctl -fk over time that you think would be related?

I was running into this a lot when I had gnome tweaks installed. After removing it all my problems with slowdowns "after x amount of uptime" went away.

It was to the point where moving my mouse would freeze videos and dragging windows around was like a slideshow
