I installed 18.04 from 17.04 (passing briefly through 17.10, didn't test it and jumped to 18.04) and I am experiencing a high cpu usage on gnome-shell, it takes almost all available CPU time:

I first used nvidia drivers, then I switched to intel graphics, and still the same behavior. It only stops when switching to Unity shell, but for some reason in Unity I have no sound (!). I saw several reports here and on Reddit, but none provided a solution, not even a clue of what it might be happening. I have no other gnome-shell extension than those that comes with a default 18.04 install, if any.

Same problem on Lenovo Thinkpad x240 .. 16.04 was much more responsive than 18.04. kill -9 seems to help by resetting it, but that's not a viable long-term solution.

Same problem on Lenovo Thinkpad x240 .. 16.04 was much more responsive than 18.04. kill -9 seems to help by resetting it, but that's not a viable long-term solution.

What helped me was running ubuntu-drivers autoinstall - seems it may have been the problem with nvidia drivers in my case.

This happens in a VM too. No nvidia there.

Just my personal experience, not sure if related: After install ibus-pinyin (IM), the problem is gone

For what it's worth I was seeing sluggish behavior after running an application like pyCharm then closing it. In my case closing pyCharm then clicking the power button looking icon in Gnome3 in the upper right hand corner took about seven seconds for the dialog box to come up.
I ended up pressing Alt+F2 then once the command box showed typing r then pressing enter. This restarted gnome and everything was snappy after that. I'm still a bit of a linux newb so I'm mainly posting this here in case it helps someone else.

If you are using GNOME extensions, try disabling them all and check.

I am not using gnome extensions, not installed by me in any case, perhaps Ubuntu has some to emulate Unity?

I'm seeing the same issue on my Elitebook 820 G3, gnome-shell regularly spikes the CPU -- currenly 201% in top.
