The Jitter is still there, but instead of happening when firefox is scrolling its only when firefox is just about to finish loading something, which i suppose would cause a CPU spike or something ? also during playback firefox runs very very slow :/ i dontk now if this is related at all, but with the cpu and the ram it shouldnt run that bad, the window manager is fluxbox so thats keeping things to a minimum. Previously i dont remember having any performance issues on this laptop when using linux and freebsd, maybe i've configured the sound card wrong which is causing all these problems. I was also wondering if i should try 4.x instead of 5.4 i dont know all the details about their difference and that, but it might be worth a try ?
