Not sure if I should post here or in the Linux - New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation thread since I've followed that how-to, but since I have an Asus Chromebox here goes...

The issue is this: After watching a while kswapd0 will start using 100 percent of the CPU and the frames will start dropping so rapidly that it makes videos unwatchable. A reboot will cure it until next time.

It doesn't seem to happen after a set number of minutes, it seems more like happening after more or less 1GB of video, but that number could be a coincidence.

Googling took me to the Arch forums and to a Launchpad bug report, but I don't know enough to see if these are relevant or not. If there's no fix, I hope there's a workaround because I don't really want to go back to Kodibuntu unless I have to (I had no issues there, though (once I upgraded the kernel to 3.18.4)).
