Public bug reported:
Chrome/Chromium is composited slower without "system title bar and
borders".
I had a feeling I could see a difference on my 4K monitor and weak Intel
GPU. Enabling "Use system title bar and borders" eliminated stutters and
gave me a smoother experience. So now I've taken some measurements from
gnome-shell (CLUTTER_SHOW_FPS=1) running Chromium, not stuttering but
playing a smoothly rendered video:
