ditto. after I enabled hw acceleration, lsof of /dev/nvidi* shows
chrome is using those - other than that, I don't see any effect on cpu
load etc. (if anything, it freezes for a few seconds randomly!)

Oh another thing, when roku plays,  it pulls in about 800 - 900
kbytes/second, when chrome does it, it is usually 300 kbytes/second -
I can't say (from visual feedback) whether the video quality sucks on
chrome, but probably is sub-par considering the stream size is 1/3rd
of what roku pulls.
