Turning on any sort of info overlay on the screen stops the "stutter". It doesn't happen all the time, but I'm going to try and grab a debug log today when it does.
it seems like UI elements being displayed indeed cures the stuttering/slowness issue. can anyone else confirm?
Looks like there was someone else with the same issue that solved it with some config changes to DRI/Mesa - https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=299115&page=7
Can you test with build #0702b: Generic and confirm it the stutter is any better/worse/no different? Don't force i915_min_freq when testing this build.
#0702b includes a commit that reverts a change added in 4.17-rc1 which aims to avoid boosting the GPU unnecessarily but which seems to have the effect of never allowing the GPU to boost at all when being used by Kodi (tested on Skylake).
