(Get the code!)
I used to have an intel GPU (GM45 with SU9600) which would clock down the refresh rate to 40Hz for power savings. Although I don't have it any more, I can see we probably have broken that use case. Clients will probably skip frames now and look "unsmooth".
I think the simple solution is to ensure the new buffer consumer thread never runs faster than any real display. It should probably be slowed down to about 10Hz.
