I tested under xmonad on a
cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10610U CPU @ 1.80GHz, 7095.28 MHz, 06-8e-0c
inteldrm0: msi, COMETLAKE, gen 9
inteldrm0: 3840x2160, 32bpp

I watched http://youtu.be/eXjRcfw9CPQ video and scrolled the page back
and forth. It played OK at 1440 and constantly rebuffered at 2160.  The
audio was smooth with some occasional clicks even though the video was a
bit jerky.

I saw all 4 cpus running some user time (<50%) with typical top(1)
output being something like this:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE     WAIT      TIME    CPU COMMAND
18037 greg      10    0  834M  893M onproc/2  fsleep   31:13 129.25% chrome
86660 greg      46    0  222M  386M run/0     -         5:10 21.92% chrome
94707 greg      10    0  182M   75M onproc/2  fsleep    6:49 18.65% chrome
91124 greg       2    0  313M  247M sleep/2   poll      2:40  6.05% chrome

I guess your machine is too slow for what chromium is doing. They run a
bunch of different processes so having more cores should help.

Thanks
