M4 Max Studio - stuttering in VLC, elmedia,IINA.Was happening during beta, so I formatted and went back to sequoia (no problems) and when I updgraded to Tahoe general release the stuttering started back up, albeit not as bad as beta.
I'm sure it will get remedied but really frustrating in the meantime.

tahoe made my snappy M1 Max feel like an old slug with all this lag & stutter
Actually for me, I don't feel anything shuttering or lag while watching Youtube videos but when come browsing website, I noticed after sometimes it tend to feel lag and shuttering while scroll up and down on my trackpad. I using iMac bought in 2024. Now Google has another update, currently monitor how it go.
Dude, I only have my calendar app open and the fans are spinning like it's the homecoming dance.
I looked at the activity monitor and all I see eating up capacity is kernel_task.
I have gotten used to Pages just frying the entire machine due to some forever unresolved spotlight bug, but now it's just existing in sleep mode at four in the morning that gets the fans spinning. And it´s been like that every day since I upgraded.
This new lineup of OS is **** on every device I have. It´s not even whether you like Liquid Glass or not (through I am sure the effect delivers something towards the feel of older devices in terms of planed obsolency).
All of this just feels like it's an Alpha version.
(the last 27 inch intel iMac here, 2020, all stacked out, 5k€, cant even idle anymore)

Guys, Firefox has stutter problems with youtube even on windows or android. It’s most likey a firefox/youtube problem.
