Not 'giving up' on 0,21 yet but very little WAF here since upgrading.
Jerky video and unable to fix it with these profiles. In my case the
switch to 0.21 also included a new server which is almost certainly a
bit underpowered but pretty much equal to our last server so I hadn't
expected so many problems.

Watching and waiting for some breakthrough in this area...
