Bug 290718: www/chromium: micro stuttering when playing >=1080p60 videos
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290718



--- Description ---
What seems to be happening is that Chromium is writing so much to my drive that
there's this occasional micro stutter while a high-resolution video is being
played.

Increasing the following sysctl parameters did help:
- kern.maxvnodes=4194304
- kern.maxfiles=2097152
- vfs.read_max=256
But I still get that stuttering occasionally, which is fine at first, but
eventually gets annoying.

Plus, I use an SSD and have a beefy CPU and RAM. This is not supposed to
happen.
