For a little over a month now, when playing videos on firefox, VLC, or any other application, I get infrequent stutters. This is with or without hardware accelleration. It’s as if the video pauses briefly. If multiple videos are playing, even across different applications, each of them will be effected at the same time.

    I had this happen with multiple programs for a while, and I found out that my computer had changed the cpu governor from “perfomance” to “power save”

      My cpupower profile was set to power save. I just switched it to performance and will give it some time
