            Bug ID: 290718
           Summary: www/chromium: micro stuttering when playing >=1080p60
                    videos
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: chromium@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: red_m95@proton.me

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.
