System reacts slowly when tuned profile is changed back

First thanks to the developers for their great work. Bazzite is running flawlessly for months on my GPD Win 4 (I use it as a mobile/stationary console but also as a workstation) with a few minor changes. I'm on bazzite-deck-gnome:latest I just wanted to ask if anyone else is experiencing problems when changing the tuned profile? For example, if I change the current profile via the Gnome power profiles settings to performance (which makes tuned use the throughout performance profile) and change it back again to balanced, the system performance is all over the place. A simple file rename in Nautilus then takes 30 seconds or longer. In the past I used ppd to change the mode dynamically depending on the status of the power source and tuned-ppd maintained this behavior. Thats why i noticed it. But also a manual change with tuned-adm leads to the same results in my test. In order to have normal performance again with the balanced profile, I have reset the tuned settings as follows:

sudo systemctl stop tuned
sudo rm -rf /etc/tuned/*
sudo touch /etc/tuned/tuned-main.conf
sudo touch /etc/tuned/bootcmdline
systemctl reboot

sudo systemctl stop tuned
sudo rm -rf /etc/tuned/*
sudo touch /etc/tuned/tuned-main.conf
sudo touch /etc/tuned/bootcmdline
systemctl reboot

This sticks until the profile gets changed again.

Solution:

@Kyle Gospo the 2.22.0 update of tuned has fixed the behavior for me. I can now switch to the throughout-performance profile without strange performance problems when switching back. Thanks if you have already spent some time investigating.
