Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this but I have noticed recently but when I watch videos in gnome, gnome-shells cpu usage jumps up. htop will show gnome-shell go from 0-10% and as soon as I start a video, either from VLC, a youtube video in either chrome or firefox I find cpu usage for gnome-shell jumps up to 220-260%.
I've tried disabling all extensions, and I can't seem to find a bug report. Has anyone else noticed this problem??

hmm ... if I were to take a guess I am thinking its because the OpenGL renderer isn't my GTX 1080?
