Video in Chrome Windows: stuttering with hw accelleration, high memory usage without #7595
Description
On my windows 11 machine (AMD processor, Nvidia gpu) practically all videos stutter when using hardware acceleration for video decode which is enabled by default.
Software rendering ("prefer software" or disabled acceleration in chrome settings) works fine, however when testing with larger video files, tabs ran out of ram (that's not the wasm heap but ram used by the browser)! The hardware decoder on the other hand never uses as much memory. This gives me reason to believe that our queuing strategy might still be problematic.
Possibly related to:

- Chrome warn "VideoFrame was garbage collected without being closed" #7327
More investigation is needed!
