<p>The failing Ethernet Switch apparently was the cause of other
issues around here: my computer's CPU (is not a Frontend) would
overheat when viewing YouTube videos and warm up significantly on

suddenly disappear. The Frontends here also have perked up -
didn't have any playback issues, just the loading/startup was a
hare sluggish. (There! Got back on-topic!)</p>
