Comment 21 for bug 1774915

Thanks, but there's no need to benchmark the CPU itself. We already know the CPU model. What does concern me about CPU usage is whether gnome-shell or some other process is using considerable CPU during playback. Do you find that?

Also, please run 'xrandr' and send us the output. Gnome Shell is unfortunately not very efficient at drawing high resolution yet (using standard GPUs like that in the i7-2630QM). So if your screen is greater than 1920x1080 then that could also be a problem.
