Everything is running smoothly so it's not the HN effect.

Might I ask what OS/Browser/ISP are you using?

I also have this problem. Windows 10, Chrome (hardware accel disabled), Comcast.

I had to enable hardware acceleration to get more than 1 frame/second. It was smooth with hardware acceleration turned on.

I'm running chrome on ubuntu on a dell xps 13

Maybe the JS Comcast is injecting that says you need a new modem is having an adverse effect, or maybe you just need a new modem. /s
