I too have had poorer video performance too since 7.1 Not _certain of the cause but since 7.1 one of my pair of 2-core cpu is always offline. I suspect this may be to do with the deliberate removal of hyper-threading support. (Yet this happened in 2018! It was done to eliminate possible data leaks. https://www.theregister.com/2018/06/20/openbsd_disables_intels_hyperthreading/ ) There is a consequent drop in performance. I use youtube-dl to download anything I want to see. (Performance is far better from a local file.) It works on many sites such as the Rumble 'embed' links and Odysee. headwind.tv was more problematic but that played well directly over the internet. Best
