[Bug 1417258] [NEW] YouTube videos stuttering and not playing back smoothly

 

Public bug reported:

rtm build 224 on krillin
on fast wifi connection

- Go to videos scope
- Choose the first YouTube video
- Play it in YouTube and maximize the screen

Expected results:
- The video should play back smoothly

Actual results:
- The video pauses frequently and stutters
- The progress bar shows it's not a buffering issue as most of the video has been downloaded already

This is new. Wondering if it could be related to the YouTube user-agent
string

Note: oxide-renderer process is using 180% CPU according to top when the
video is being played back
